Abstract:
A method includes displaying a plurality of computer-generated objects, and obtaining finger manipulation data from a finger-wearable device via a communication interface. In some implementations, the method includes receiving an untethered input vector that includes a plurality of untethered input indicator values. Each of the plurality of untethered input indicator values is associated with one of a plurality of untethered input modalities. In some implementations, the method includes obtaining proxy object manipulation data from a physical proxy object via the communication interface. The proxy object manipulation data corresponds to sensor data associated with one or more sensors integrated in the physical proxy object. The method includes registering an engagement event with respect to a first one of the plurality of computer-generated objects based on a combination of the finger manipulation data, the untethered input vector, and the proxy object manipulation data.
