Abstract
Methods and devices for initiating a search of an object are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed that includes receiving video data recorded by a camera on a wearable computing device, where the video data comprises at least a first frame and a second frame. The method further includes, based on the video data, detecting an area in the first frame that is at least partially bounded by a pointing device and, based on the video data, detecting in the second frame that the area is at least partially occluded by the pointing device. The method still further includes initiating a search on the area.
