Original Abstract Submitted
A gesture-based text entry user interface for an Augmented Reality (AR) system is provided. The AR system detects a start text entry gesture made by a user of the AR system, generates a virtual keyboard user interface including a virtual keyboard having a plurality of virtual keys, and provides to the user the virtual keyboard user interface. The AR system detects a hold of an enter text gesture made by the user. While the user holds the enter text gesture, the AR system collects continuous motion gesture data of a continuous motion as the user makes the continuous motion through the virtual keys of the virtual keyboard. The AR system detects a release of the enter text gesture by the user and generates entered text data based on the continuous motion gesture data.
