Our system accurately reconstructs complex hand poses across a variety of subjects using only a single depth camera. It also allows for a high-degree of robustness, continually recovering from tracking failures. However, the most unique aspect of our tracker is its flexibility in terms of camera placement and operating range.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Screenshots<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-213937 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/uploads\/prod\/2014\/10\/handpose_hand1.png\" alt=\"handpose_hand1\" width=\"600\" height=\"105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/handpose_hand1.png 1942w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/handpose_hand1-300x53.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/handpose_hand1-768x134.png 768w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/handpose_hand1-1024x179.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/handpose_hand1-1920x340.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"a2b68c0c-8760-4850-ac68-08829b95ff5d\" class=\"ImageBlock fn\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-213934 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/uploads\/prod\/2014\/10\/handpose_hand2.png\" alt=\"handpose_hand2\" width=\"600\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/handpose_hand2.png 1979w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/handpose_hand2-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/handpose_hand2-768x412.png 768w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/handpose_hand2-1024x550.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/handpose_hand2-710x380.png 710w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Please note, we are using a standard Xbox One Kinect without any hardware modifications.
