Bimanual interactions between mapped hand regions for controlling virtual and graphical elements

Abstract

Example systems, devices, media, and methods are described for controlling the presentation of one or more virtual or graphical elements on a display in response to bimanual hand gestures detected by an eyewear device that is capturing frames of video data with its camera system. An image processing system detects a first hand and defines a mapped region relative to a surface of the detected first hand. The system presents a virtual target icon at a position within or near the mapped region. The image processing system detects a series of bimanual hand shapes, including the detected first hand and at least one fingertip of a second hand. In response to determining whether the detected series of bimanual hand shapes matches a predefined hand gesture, the system executes a selecting action that includes presenting one or more graphical elements on the display.
