5. Operating Instructions
5.1 AI Modes and Gesture Control
The NewEye 61 offers three intelligent AI modes that can be controlled via simple hand gestures:
- Auto Framing Mode: Automatically adjusts the frame to include all detected participants, keeping them centered.
- Presenter Tracking Mode: Follows a single presenter as they move, ensuring they remain in the frame.
- Zoom Mode: Allows for digital zoom adjustments.
Gesture Commands:
- OK Gesture (Mode Switching):
Perform an 'OK' gesture (thumb and index finger forming a circle, other fingers extended) approximately 7 feet from the lens. This gesture cycles through Auto Framing Mode, Presenter Tracking Mode, and Zoom Mode. - L Gesture (Zoom In/Out):
While in Zoom Mode, perform an 'L' gesture (thumb extended, index finger extended horizontally) to zoom in or out. This gesture allows for 5X digital zoom functionality.

FOV adjustments can typically be made through the webcam's companion software or your video conferencing application's settings.
