Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for allowing a user's hands to interact with virtual objects. An image of at least one hand may be received from an image capture devices. A plurality of keypoints associated with at least one hand may be detected. In response to determining that a hand is making or is transitioning into making a particular gesture, a subset of the plurality of keypoints may be selected. An interaction point may be registered to a particular location relative to the subset of the plurality of keypoints based on the particular gesture. A proximal point may be registered to a location along the user's body. A ray may be cast from the proximal point through the interaction point. A multi-DOF controller for interacting with the virtual object may be formed based on the ray.
