Hand heart
A hand heart is a gesture in which a person forms a heart shape using their fingers. Hand hearts are usually more popular within the young generation.[1]
The upside down hand heart gesture was first noted in art in 1989, when Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan created an art image of the gesture as his first artwork named Family Syntax.[2]
Google patent
Discovered by Engadget team, Google filed a patent in July 2011 that allowed Google Glass users to use the hand heart in front of any objects, and the gadget automatically recognise the object, takes a picture, and send it to social networks as a "liked" image.[3][4]
