Original Abstract Submitted

various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that associate user activities with user interface (ui) elements within a 3d environment. some implementations do so in ways that account for inaccuracies (i.e., fuzziness) in sensor-based detection of the user activities, e.g., inaccuracy in sensor data-based gaze tracking or sensor data-based hand/joint position. some implementations use a sampling technique to associate user activity in a 3d environment with an appropriate portion of a ui positioned within a 3d environment. for example, a sampling technique may be used to identify sample locations within the 3d environment (e.g., sample locations around a gaze direction) to evaluate and ultimately select from to associate with a user activity, e.g., associating a particular ui button with a gaze direction.
