Hand-triggered head-mounted photography

摘要

Embodiments described herein may help a computing device, such as a head-mountable device (HMD), to capture and process images in response to a user placing their hands in, and then withdrawing their hands from, a frame formation. For example, an HMD may analyze image data from a point-of-view camera on the HMD, and detect when a wearer holds their hands in front of their face to frame a subject in the wearer's field of view. Further, the HMD may detect when the wearer withdraws their hands from such a frame formation and responsively capture an image. Further, the HMD may determine a selection area that is being framed, within the wearer's field of view, by the frame formation. The HMD may then process the captured image based on the frame formation, such as by cropping, white-balancing, and/or adjusting exposure.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, at a computing device, sensor data that is associated with a head-mountable imaging device; analyzing the sensor data to detect a hand gesture comprising: (a) a placement of the one or more hands in a frame formation, and (b) a subsequent withdrawal of the one or more hands from the frame formation; and in response to detecting the withdrawal of the one or more hands from the frame formation, causing the head-mountable imaging device to capture a first image.
