Abstract

A hand-tracking platform generates gesture components for use as user inputs into an application of an Augmented Reality (AR) system. In some examples, the hand-tracking platform generates real-world scene environment frame data based on gestures being made by a user of the AR system using a camera component of the AR system. The hand-tracking platform recognizes a gesture component based on the real-world scene environment frame data and generates gesture component data based on the gesture component. The application utilizes the gesture component data as user input in a user interface of the application.
