What it means

Four raised fingers mean the number four.

How the camera recognizes it

All four fingers are extended and the thumb is folded in. Let the thumb out and it becomes an Open Palm.

Effect: Code Rain

Code Rain streams green code characters down from your four fingertips, like digital rain in a terminal.

  • Fold the thumb flat across the palm.
  • Keep the fingers straight and together.
  • Pair it with a Five on the other hand to show nine.
