Abstract
An AR system includes multiple input-modalities. A hand-tracking pipeline supports Direct Manipulation of Virtual Object (DMVO) and gesture input methodologies. In addition, a voice processing pipeline provides for speech inputs. Direct memory buffer access to preliminary hand-tracking data, such as skeletal models, allows for low latency communication of the data for use by DMVO-based user interfaces. A system framework component routes higher level hand-tracking data, such as gesture identification and symbols generated based on hand positions, via a Snips protocol to gesture-based user interfaces.
