Abstract
A near eye display (NED) system is configured to present an augmented reality environment to the user. In addition, the NED system uses an imaging device to detect individuals within a local area, and identify positions of hands of the individuals from which the NED system may be able to detect one or more performed gestures. In response to detecting a predetermined gesture, the NED system displays a user of the NED one or more virtual objects corresponding to the identified first gesture at a location associated with a predetermined portion of the individual's body. The displayed virtual objects may be referred to as 'visual flair,' and are used to accentuate, stylize, or provide emphasis to gestures performed by individuals within the local area.
