  • Publication number: 20250004541
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a hand tracking device. The hand tracking device includes a storage circuit and a processor. The storage circuit stores a program code. The processor is coupled to the storage circuit and accesses the program code. The processor is configured to obtain a hand motion curve of a hand during a period of time. The processor is configured to obtain an object motion curve of an object during the period of time. The processor is configured to determine whether the hand is holding the object based on the hand motion curve and the object motion curve.

  • Patent number: 12183029
    Abstract: A device position correction method applicable to a wearable device is provided. The device position correction method includes the following steps. A wearable device image is received. An object detector detects the wearable device position, which is the position in the wearable device image. A limb detection model detects a plurality of skeleton points and a limb position, which is the position of a limb in the wearable device image, in order to determine which body part corresponds to the limb. According to the skeleton points and the limb position, correction information related to the wearable device position is generated.

  • Patent number: 11693485
    Abstract: The embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for improving quality of a visual content, a host, and a computer readable storage medium. The method includes: determining a first gesture of a first hand and accordingly providing a first hand object in the visual content; determining a second gesture of a second hand and accordingly providing a second hand object in the visual content; in response to determining that the first gesture and the second gesture respectively correspond to a first predetermined gesture and a second predetermined gesture, determining a specific distance between the first gesture and the second gesture; and in response to determining that the specific distance is smaller than a distance threshold, refining the first hand object and the second hand object.
