Methods and devices for initiating a search are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed that includes causing a camera on a wearable computing device to record video data, segmenting the video data into a number of layers and, based on the video data, detecting that a pointing object is in proximity to a first layer. The method further includes initiating a first search on the first layer. In another embodiment, a wearable computing device is disclosed that includes a camera configured to record video data, a processor, and data storage comprising instructions executable by the processor to segment the video data into a number of layers and, based on the video data, detect that a pointing object is in proximity to a first layer. The instructions are further executable by the processor to initiate a first search on the first layer. |
