Interactions with virtual objects for machine control

This technology lets you control virtual objects by moving your hand in a 3D space. It works by creating a detailed digital model of your hand, tracking your fingers, thumb, and palm. When your fingers and thumb come together, like a pinch, the system identifies a spot on a virtual object and lets you manipulate it, with the strength of your pinch affecting the interaction.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of highly optimized AI models for real-time hand pose estimation. The claims' detailed hand tracking and gesture recognition are now more efficiently achievable with current deep learning computer vision techniques.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedComputer vision, 3D hand tracking software
