Wrist rotation manipulation of virtual objects

This invention describes an Augmented Reality (AR) system that lets you manipulate virtual objects using your hand. To interact, you move your hand to visually overlap a virtual object, then rotate your wrist to rotate the virtual object in the AR experience. The claims specify that this system uses cameras to track your hand, determining overlap and wrist rotation.

Why it matters: Since 2022, AR hardware and hand-tracking computer vision software have advanced considerably, making robust real-time gesture recognition more feasible and accurate on consumer devices. This could simplify the implementation of the camera-based hand tracking described in the claims.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedAR hardware, computer vision software, real-time tracking
