  • Virtual object interaction in augmented reality
    Patent number: 12762802
    Abstract: A method includes using at least one processor to receive image data including one or more virtual objects and determining a distance between a user extremity and the one or more virtual objects based on the image data. Further, the method includes detecting a first gesture of the user extremity based on the image data and generating a virtual sphere within a virtual object of the one or more virtual objects. The method also includes determining that the distance is less than a threshold, detecting movement of the user extremity based on the image data, and adjusting a position of the virtual object based on the movement of the user extremity.
