Abstract

The subject technology detects from a set of frames, a first gesture, the first gesture corresponding to a pinch gesture. The subject technology detects a first location and a first position of a first representation of a first finger from the first gesture and a second location and a second position of a second representation of a second finger from the first gesture. The subject technology detects a first collision event corresponding to a first collider and a second collider intersecting with a third collider of a first virtual object. The subject technology detects a first change in the first location and the first position and a second change in the second location and the second position. The subject technology modifies the first virtual object to include an additional augmented reality content based at least in part on the first change and the second change.
