Input for wearable AR

Ordinarily AR eyewear devices neither use a game controller or clicker nor positionally tracked hand controllers. Instead, you use your hands. Hand gesture recognition is another challenging AI problem for computer vision and image processing.

In conjunction with tracking, where the user is looking (gaze), gestures are used to trigger events such as select, grab, and move.
