Method and system for translating air writing to an augmented reality device

Abstract:

Techniques for translating air writing to augmented reality (AR) devices are described. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving indications of gestures from an originator. The indications identify movement in three dimensions that correspond to an emphasis conferred on one or more words that are air-written by the originator and are configured to be displayed by a plurality of AR devices. The method includes analyzing the identified movement to determine a gesture type associated with the emphasis, where the gesture type includes a first emphasis to be conferred on the air-written words. The method includes providing a display of the air-written words on a first AR device of the plurality of AR devices. The first emphasis is conferred on the words on the display of the first AR device using a first gesture display style based on a profile of a first user utilizing the first AR device.
