DEPTH SENSING INFRARED INPUT DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED METHODS THEREOF

Methods and systems are provided for a hand tracking device. The hand tracking device includes a first infrared camera for capturing a plurality of images of a user hand indicating a first gesture for requesting a first action associated with operating a display device. The hand tracking device utilizes the plurality of images to generate a three-dimensional image of the user hand; and detects the first gesture from the three-dimensional image using a trained model that stores a plurality of input gestures corresponding to three-dimensional images of user hands. A first operation is executed in response to the detected first gesture. The hand tracking device continuously monitors the user hand to detect a second gesture from the trained model for executing a second operation.
