NATURAL HAND RENDERING IN XR SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18151284 titled 'NATURAL HAND RENDERING IN XR SYSTEMS
The abstract describes an Extended Reality (XR) system that allows for clipping a virtual object displayed to a user. The system includes an XR user interface with a virtual object, captures hand tracking video frame data, generates a clipping mask based on the data, applies the mask to the virtual object to create a clipped version, and displays it in the XR user interface.

Original Abstract Submitted
An extended Reality (XR) system provides methodologies for clipping a virtual object displayed to a user. The XR system provides an XR user interface that includes a virtual object. The XR system captures tracking video frame data of a hand of the user and generates a clipping mask based on the tracking video frame data. The XR system generates a clipped virtual object by applying the clipping mask to the virtual object and displays the clipped virtual object in the XR user interface.
