GESTURE BASED REGION IDENTIFICATION FOR HOLOGRAMS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- presenting virtual imagery in a see-through, near-eye display device;
accessing image data of an environment that coincides with the virtual imagery from the perspective of a user wearing the see-through, near-eye display device;
analyzing the image data to identify a region select symbol being made by the user;
identifying a region in the image data that corresponds to the region select symbol; and
determining a portion of the virtual imagery that corresponds to the region in the image data from the perspective of the user.

Abstract
Techniques are provided for allowing a user to select a region within virtual imagery, such as a hologram, being presented in an HMD. The user could select the region by using their hands to form a closed loop such that from the perspective of the user, the closed loop corresponds to the region the user wishes to select. The user could select the region by using a prop, such as a picture frame. In response to the selection, the selected region could be presented using a different rendering technique than other regions of the virtual imagery. Various rendering techniques such as zooming, filtering, etc. could be applied to the selected region. The identification of the region by the user could also serve as a selection of an element in that portion of the virtual image.

8. A display system comprising:
-
a see-through, near-eye display device; an image sensor; logic in communication with to the display device and the image sensor, the logic is configured to; present holographic imagery in the see-through, near-eye display device; access image data of an environment that coincides with the holographic imagery from the perspective of a user wearing the see-through, near-eye display device; analyze the image data to identify a region select symbol being made by the user; identify a region in the image data that corresponds to the region select symbol; correlate the region in the image data to a portion of the holographic imagery; and initiate a select event in response to identifying the region select symbol being made by the user. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer storage device having instructions stored thereon which, when executed on a processor, cause the processor to:
-
cause a see-through, near-eye display device to present holographic imagery; access image data of an environment that coincides with the holographic imagery from the perspective of a user wearing the see-through, near-eye display device; analyze the image data to identify a region select symbol being made by the user; identify a region in the image data that corresponds to the region select symbol; correlate the region in the image data to a portion of the holographic imagery; initiate a select event in response to identifying the region select symbol being made by the user; and cause the see-through, near-eye display device to present the portion of the holographic imagery with a first display property and other portions of the holographic imagery with a second display property in response to the select event. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
