US Patent 11507190 Gesture control method applied to VR device, and apparatus

A gesture control method applied to a virtual reality (VR) device, where gesture location information of a user of the VR device is obtained, a depth distance from a depth sensor to a hand of the user is detected using the depth sensor, and a hand movement area of the user is divided into a selection area and a command area based on a result of comparing the depth distance with a preset depth threshold. When the detected depth distance is not greater than the preset depth threshold, the user may select a to-be-operated object on a current display page, and when the detected depth distance is greater than the preset depth threshold, the user may perform a command operation on the to-be-operated object.
