Hands-free navigation of touch-based operating systems

This invention describes a way to control a head-mounted computing device without touching it. It works by letting the device recognize the touch controls on its screen and then allowing you to interact with them using hands-free commands. For example, it might display visual indicators over the screen's controls that respond to your voice or gestures.

Why it matters: Since 2020, consumer-grade head-mounted displays have significantly advanced in integrated sensor capabilities like eye and hand tracking. This makes the core hands-free interaction and overlay display much more practical.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedHead-mounted device, gesture/voice recognition software
