Abstract
Processing gesture input includes obtaining hand tracking data based on a set of camera frames, determining a hand pose based on the hand tracking data, and determining an intentionality classification for a gesture based on the hand pose. An input action corresponding to the gesture is enabled based on the hand pose and the intentionality classification. An occlusion classification is determined for the hand based on the hand pose and the input gesture can be determined based on the occlusion classification.
