IEEE Spectrum, is the world’s largest professional organisation devoted to engineering and the applied sciences. It contains peer-reviewed feature articles pertaining to technology and science trends affecting business and society. This spectrum was conducted to enlighten the young minds and some skillful knowledge out of it. The speaker Mr. K. Gokul spoke on “Creating virtual objects with the flick of a finger ”. The speaker enlightened us with the idea that “ Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a new system called HotGestures that allows users to create objects and designs in virtual environments with the flick of a finger. The HotGestures suite of virtual-reality commands enables easy and quick actions in-world such as spray-painting, scaling, duplicating, and cutting. The system continuously receives observations of the user’s finger and hand movements for both hands through the headset’s integrated hand tracker, and the AI evaluates the hand movements and predicts which tool the user wants. HotGestures give users “superhuman“ ability to open and control tools in virtual reality. The results of two experiments showed that the approach was fast and easy to use .” The participants had an amazing experience in the meet and enjoyed the entire session.
