  • Publication number: 20220171469
    Abstract: A method for single-handed microgesture input comprises receiving hand tracking data for a hand of a user. A set of microgesture targets that include software functions are assigned to positions along a length of a first finger. The received hand tracking data is analyzed by a gesture recognition machine. A location of a thumbtip of the hand of the user is determined relative to the positions along the first finger. Responsive to determining that the thumbtip is within a threshold distance of the first finger at a first position along the length of the first finger, a corresponding first microgesture target is designated for selection. Selection of the first microgesture target is enabled based on a duration the thumbtip is at the first position. Responsive to detecting a confirmation action, the corresponding microgesture target executes.

    Abstract: A computing system is provided. The computing system includes a head mounted display (HMD) device including a display, a processor configured to execute one or more programs, and associated memory. The processor is configured to display a virtual object at least partially within a field of view of a user on the display, identify a plurality of control points associated with the virtual object, and determine that one or more of the control points associated with the virtual object are further than a predetermined threshold distance from the user. The processor is configured to, based on the determination, invoke a far interaction mode for the virtual object and receive a trigger input from the user. In response to the trigger input in the far interaction mode, the processor is configured to invoke a near interaction mode and display a virtual interaction object within the predetermined threshold distance from the user.
