Original Abstract Submitted
in one implementation, a method for visualizing multi-modal inputs includes: displaying a first user interface element within an extended reality (xr) environment; determining a gaze direction based on first input data; in response to determining that the gaze direction is directed to the first user interface element, displaying a focus indicator with a first appearance in association with the first user interface element; detecting a change in pose of at least one of a head pose or a body pose of a user of the computing system; and, in response to detecting the change of pose, modifying the focus indicator from the first appearance to a second appearance different from the first appearance.
