Method and system for control using hand tracking

This invention describes a system designed to improve control of teleoperated instruments, such as those used in surgery. It works by continuously tracking the position of a physical input control and the operator's hand. If the operator's hand gets too close to the input control, the system automatically hides or inhibits the display of parts of the user interface, preventing accidental interactions.

Why it matters: Hand tracking technology has continued to mature since 2023, offering improved precision and integration for critical applications like surgical teleoperation.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateHand tracking unit, input control, software logic
