  • Patent number: 11995780
    Abstract: The subject technology receives a set of frames. The subject technology detect a first gesture correspond to an open trigger finger gesture. The subject technology receives a second set of frames. The subject technology detects from the second set of frames, a second gesture correspond to a closed trigger finger gesture. The subject technology detects a location and a position of a representation of a finger from the closed trigger finger gesture. The subject technology generates a first virtual object based at least in part on the location and the position of the representation of the finger. The subject technology renders a movement of the first virtual object along a vector away from the location and the position of the representation of the finger within a first scene. The subject technology provides for display the rendered movement of the first virtual object along the vector within the first scene.
