Original Abstract Submitted
various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that enable multi-mode interactions with elements in a three-dimensional (3d) environment based on cursor movement associated with tracking user hand motion. for example, a process may include presenting an extended reality (xr) environment comprising a virtual element and a cursor. the process may further include obtaining hand data corresponding to 3d movement of a hand in a 3d environment. the process may further include operating in first mode where the 3d motion of the hand is converted to two-dimensional (2d) motion and detecting a 3d user input criteria. in response to the 3d user input criteria a mode of operation is modified to a second mode where the 3d motion of the hand is maintained without conversion to the 2d motion.
