Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that interpret user activity involving both hands based on determining an interaction mode associated with each hand of a user. For example, a process may receive data corresponding to user activity involving two hands of a user in a 3-dimensional (3D) coordinate system. The process may further identify actions performed by the two hands based on the data corresponding to the user activity. Each of the two hands performs one of the identified actions. The process may further determine whether the identified actions satisfy a criterion based on the data corresponding to the user activity and in accordance, determine to associate each of the actions performed by each of the two hands with a direct interaction mode or an indirect interaction mode.
