Abstract:
Various implementations provide views of 3D environments (e.g., extended reality (XR) environments). Non-eye-based user activity, such as hand gestures, is associated with some types of eye-based activity, such as the user gazing at a particular user interface component displayed within a view of a 3D environment. For example, a user's pinching hand gesture may be associated with the user gazing at a particular user interface component, such as a button, at around the same time as the pinching hand gesture is made. These associated behaviors (e.g., the pinch and gaze at the button) may then be interpreted as user input, e.g., user input selecting or otherwise acting upon that user interface component. In some implementations, non-eye-based user activity is only associated with types of eye-based user activity that are likely to correspond to a user perceiving what they are seeing and/or intentionally looking at something.
