Abstract:
A method and system for interacting with an input device is provided. The method includes initializing a virtual keyboard viewable via an eyewear based video display enabled computing device. The eyewear based video display enabled computing device determines that two hands of a user are viewable via a view screen of the eyewear based video display enabled computing device. In response, characters or symbols of the virtual keyboard are mapped to a position and associated scaling of the two hands of the user. Movement of the hands is tracked and associated with gestures enabled by the movement. The associated gestures are converted into associated characters or symbols and input data specified by the user is received.
