Carnegie Mellon University researchers Nathan Devrio and Chris Harrison used 8 distributed depth sensors to image the hand from different viewpoints and create a 3D point cloud.

8 other depth sensors were used to track the user’s body and surroundings. Each depth sensor captures a 8×8 depth image. This smartwatch can capture hand poses. It can be used for pose prediction for bimanual activities with only one tracked arm or ad hoc touch tracking.
