Abstract

This application is directed to identifying user gestures. One or more first images are captured by a first camera and include a first perspective of a hand. A first hand gesture is identified from the one or more first images. A second hand gesture is identified from one or more second images that are captured by a second camera, e.g., substantially concurrently with the one or more first images. The one or more second images include a second perspective of the hand that is distinct from the first perspective. A final hand gesture of the hand is determined based on the first and second hand gestures and applied to enable an operation on an object. The first and second cameras are included in two distinct electronic devices. The operation is performed by one of the two electronic devices or by a third electronic device distinct from the two electronic devices.
