Abstract
Facilitating input to the computing system by displaying an input area on the palm of a human hand, and allowing easy input mode changes using gestures of that hand. Computer vision is used to detect the palm of a human hand. Augmented reality is used to display the input area on that palm of the display human hand. Computer vision may then be used to detect when the other human hand of that user interfaces with the input area. The input area has multiple input modes that each define how input from the input human hand is interpreted by the computing system. In response to the computer vision detected an input mode changing gesture of the display human hand, the computing system changes the input mode of the input area so as to change how input provided by the input human hand is interpreted by the computing system.
