Abstract

An augmented reality (AR) device generates hand annotations for an image depicting a user's hand. The device includes a display, a processor, and a memory storing instructions for performing operations. The device performs a calibration operation to generate a 3-D model of the user's hand based on measurements. The calibration operation prompts the user to mimic the hand gesture presented by the animated virtual representation of a hand to obtain optimal images of the hand for hand pose estimation. A 3-D virtual representation of a hand in a hand pose corresponding with a hand gesture is generated based on the 3-D model. The device presents the 3-D virtual representation of the hand in AR via the display. During presentation, the device detects an input and captures an image of the user's hand positioned to correspond with the 3-D virtual representation. The captured image is stored with corresponding hand annotations based on the 3-D model.
