Google, the search engine giant has been awarded with a patent which allows its users to click the pictures with the help of a head-mounted wearable display with glass like thing and it recognizes the fingers of the user.
You can position your hands as seen below to get a portrait-style picture or make a circle with your fingers to take a round photo. In addition, the device can recognise when its wearer wants to take different image shapes (e.g., orientation of the photo). Well now Google is hoping to gain a little popularity by implementing a new technology which uses the simple hand gesture to actually take pictures. As reported by the Wall Street Journal, Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt said, “It is a big and very fundamental platform for Google”. “Google is about taking risks and there’s nothing about adjusting Glass that suggests we’re ending it”.
Titled “Self-Describing 3D Object Recognition and Control Descriptors for Augmented Reality Interfaces”, the technology will “provide for the detection and recognition of target devices by a mobile computing device”, the patent description said.
