GESTURE-BASED KEYBOARD TEXT ENTRY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17729808 Titled 'GESTURE-BASED KEYBOARD TEXT ENTRY'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a gesture-based text entry user interface for an Augmented Reality (AR) system. The AR system detects when a user starts a text entry gesture and generates a virtual keyboard interface with virtual keys. The user is then provided with this virtual keyboard interface. The AR system also detects when the user holds an "enter text" gesture and collects continuous motion gesture data as the user moves their hand through the virtual keys. When the user releases the "enter text" gesture, the AR system generates entered text data based on the collected continuous motion gesture data.
Original Abstract Submitted
A gesture-based text entry user interface for an Augmented Reality (AR) system is provided. The AR system detects a start text entry gesture made by a user of the AR system, generates a virtual keyboard user interface including a virtual keyboard having a plurality of virtual keys, and provides to the user the virtual keyboard user interface. The AR system detects a hold of an enter text gesture made by the user. While the user holds the enter text gesture, the AR system collects continuous motion gesture data of a continuous motion as the user makes the continuous motion through the virtual keys of the virtual keyboard. The AR system detects a release of the enter text gesture by the user and generates entered text data based on the continuous motion gesture data.
