Hello,  
The menu display by hand gesture was introduced in ML2 OS 1.1.0 dev1, but it changes to the menu screen when the gesture is performed while the application is running.  
Please let me know if there is a way to disable the gesture-based menu display function while the application is running.

**ML2 OS version** :1.1.0-dev1 （B3E.221020.13-R.039\_40）

Thanks.

Hi @tokufxug

Thank you for you feedback, we will provide a way to disable the gesture interaction in the December release along with other improvements to our hand tracking system. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

@kbabilinski Currently, applications using hand tracking unintentionally return menus to the screen, so improvements are needed. if we can improve this before the December release, it will be no problem.
