Abstract
Methods and devices for initiating application and system modal control of a computer device based on predicted locations of a hand outside of a field of view using a computer device are disclosed. The method includes receiving hand motion information from a hand positional tracking system that tracks a position of a hand of a user. The method also includes determining the hand is outside a field of view of the computer device based on the hand motion information. The method further includes predicting a location of the hand while outside the field of view. The method also includes interacting with a secondary UX on the display based on the predicted location of the hand.
