Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to manipulating a virtual object. In particular, it relates to detecting a hand in a three-dimensional (3D) sensory space and generating a predictive model of the hand, and using the predictive model to track motion of the hand. The predictive model includes positions of calculation points of fingers, thumb and palm of the hand. The technology disclosed relates to dynamically selecting at least one manipulation point proximate to a virtual object based on the motion tracked by the predictive model and positions of one or more of the calculation points, and manipulating the virtual object by interaction between at least some of the calculation points of the predictive model and the dynamically selected manipulation point.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to simplifying updating of a predictive model using clustering observed points. In particular, it relates to observing a set of points in 3D sensory space, determining surface normal directions from the points, clustering the points by their surface normal directions and adjacency, accessing a predictive model of a hand, refining positions of segments of the predictive model, matching the clusters of the points to the segments, and using the matched clusters to refine the positions of the matched segments. It also relates to distinguishing between alternative motions between two observed locations of a control object in a 3D sensory space by accessing first and second positions of a segment of a predictive model of a control object such that motion between the first position and the second position was at least partially occluded from observation in a 3D sensory space.

Abstract: During control of a user interface via free-space motions of a hand or other suitable control object, switching between control modes can be facilitated by tracking the control object's movements relative to, and its penetration of, a virtual control construct (such as a virtual surface construct). The technology disclosed includes determining from the motion information whether a motion of the control object with respect to the virtual control construct is an engagement gesture, such as a virtual mouse click or other control device operation. The position of the virtual control construct can be updated, continuously or from time to time, based on the control object's location.

Abstract: The technology disclosed performs hand pose estimation on a so-called “joint-by-joint” basis. So, when a plurality of estimates for the 28 hand joints are received from a plurality of expert networks (and from master experts in some high-confidence scenarios), the estimates are analyzed at a joint level and a final location for each joint is calculated based on the plurality of estimates for a particular joint. This is a novel solution discovered by the technology disclosed because nothing in the field of art determines hand pose estimates at such granularity and precision. Regarding granularity and precision, because hand pose estimates are computed on a joint-by joint basis, this allows the technology disclosed to detect in real time even the minutest and most subtle hand movements, such a bend/yaw/tilt/roll of a segment of a finger or a tilt an occluded finger, as demonstrated supra in the Experimental Results section of this application.
