Abstract
Sharing screen content during a video call is a cumbersome, multi-step procedure that requires user action to initiate sharing, specify the window or screen area to share, and verify that the selected area is correctly shared. This disclosure describes techniques to simplify the sharing of on-screen content during video calls by leveraging camera-equipped smart glasses. Per the techniques, users wearing smart glasses can share on-screen content to others in a video call by simply pointing to the content with their finger, making content-sharing simple and intuitive. When the user's finger appears in the field-of-view, it is detected and a ‘point-to-share’ mode is triggered. Various gestures can be used to modify the share, e.g., to specify the screen area to be shared, to select a different screen area to share, to stop sharing, etc. The natural finger-pointing gesture simplifies content sharing to a single action, making content sharing seamless and intuitive.
