Out of sight point

• A situation where the pointer points out of sight (e.g., directly above) while the eye is looking forward
• Not intended to point to anything.
• So you can interpret that as gesture and assign functions other than points

concrete example

• In first person shooters, “reloading” is necessary during shooting, to which the gesture “pointing the gun up” is assigned.
• The gesture to remove the goggles in Virtual Virtual Reality also points out of view, behind you.
