This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250004565 titled 'WIDGET INTERACTION FOR EXTENDED REALITY (XR) APPLICATIONS

Original Abstract Submitted

a method includes rendering a virtual widget at a first position in an extended reality (xr) space using a head-mounted display. the method also includes detecting a hand gesture of a user at a second position in the xr space using at least one optical sensor. the second position is between the first position and the optical sensor. the method further includes determining a duration of the hand gesture and a distance between the first and second positions. the method also includes performing a first or second type of action based on the duration and/or the distance. the first type of action corresponds to a system-level control of the virtual widget, and the second type of action corresponds to a content-level control of the virtual widget. in addition, the method includes rendering a visual and/or audio feedback based on at least one of the duration or the distance.
