Abstract
Techniques for control using hand tracking include a system having an input control configured to be manipulated by an operator of the system, a hand tracking unit, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine a first position of the input control; receive, from the hand tracking unit, a second position of a hand of the operator; determine whether the first position is within a threshold distance of the second position; and control display of a user interface based on the determination of whether the first position is within the threshold distance of the second position.
