How to make the Double Palm gesture

  1. Raise both hands
  2. Open both palms toward the camera
  3. Hold them apart to charge the beam

What it means

Two raised open palms can mean "stop", "I surrender" or simply the number ten.

How the camera recognizes it

Two hands are tracked and each one is recognized as an Open Palm at the same time.

Effect: Energy Beam

Energy Beam links your palms with a crackling beam, glowing orbs in each hand, and sparks flowing between them.

Tips for reliable detection

  • Keep both hands fully in the frame.
  • Move the hands apart and together to stretch the beam.
  • Spread all ten fingers.
