Publication number: 20240402800Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that interpret user activity as user interactions with user interface (UI) elements positioned within a three-dimensional (3D) space such as an extended reality (XR) environment. Some implementations enable user interactions with virtual elements displayed in 3D environments that utilize alternative input modalities, e.g., XR environments that interpret user activity as either direct interactions or indirect interactions with virtual elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventors: Julian K. Shutzberg, David J. Meyer, David M. Teitelbaum, Mehmet N. Agaoglu, Ian R. Fasel, Chase B. Lortie, Daniel J. Brewer, Tim H. Cornelissen, Leah M. Gum, Alexander G.

Publication number: 20240331447Abstract: Processing gesture input includes obtaining hand tracking data based on a set of camera frames, determining a hand pose based on the hand tracking data, and determining an intentionality classification for a gesture based on the hand pose. An input action corresponding to the gesture is enabled based on the hand pose and the intentionality classification. An occlusion classification is determined for the hand based on the hand pose and the input gesture can be determined based on the occlusion classification.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2023Publication date: October 3, 2024Inventors: Itay Bar Yosef, Bhavin Vinodkumar Nayak, Chao-Ming Yen, Chase B.

Patent number: 11734844Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and a method for receiving a monocular image that includes a depiction of a hand and extracting features of the monocular image using a plurality of machine learning techniques. The program and method further include modeling, based on the extracted features, a pose of the hand depicted in the monocular image by adjusting skeletal joint positions of a three-dimensional (3D) hand mesh using a trained graph convolutional neural network (CNN); modeling, based on the extracted features, a shape of the hand in the monocular image by adjusting blend shape values of the 3D hand mesh representing surface features of the hand depicted in the monocular image using the trained graph CNN; and generating, for display, the 3D hand mesh adjusted to model the pose and shape of the hand depicted in the monocular image.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Liuhao Ge, Zhou Ren, Yuncheng Li, Zehao Xue, Yingying Wang
