Artificial reality systems with personal assistant element for gating user interface elements

This invention describes an artificial reality system that lets you interact with virtual objects using specific hand gestures. Imagine seeing a virtual assistant in your view; you would make a gripping motion with your fingers around it, then a throwing motion with your hand, and the system would then generate a new virtual interface element. The claims specifically define this as a two-digit grip (like thumb and finger) followed by a throw.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of advanced consumer AR/VR hardware and significant leaps in machine learning-powered hand tracking. The specific gesture detection described is now more robust and performant due to these advancements, making the system more practical.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedComputer vision, AR rendering, gesture logic
