An electronic device tracks, for a user performing a target acquisition movement within a 3D space, movement parameters of a plurality of input devices of the user. The electronic device predicts, for the user, a region of interest within the 3D space, based on the movement parameters. The region of interest includes a plurality of targets in close proximity. The electronic device predicts an endpoint of the target acquisition movement, within the region of interest. In some embodiments, the plurality of input devices includes an eye tracking input device, each input device corresponds to a predefined input device type, and the movement parameters include gaze data from the eye tracking input device. In some embodiments, input devices includes an eye tracking input device, a head-mounted display, and a hand-held controller, and the user's eye, hand, and head movements are coordinated.

Multimodal kinematic template matching and regression modeling for ray pointing prediction in virtual reality

An electronic device tracks, for a user performing a target acquisition movement within a 3D space, movement parameters of a plurality of input devices of the user. The electronic device predicts, for the user, a region of interest within the 3D space, using a regression model, based on the movement parameters. The region of interest includes a plurality of targets in close proximity. The electronic device predicts an endpoint of the target acquisition movement, within the region of interest, using a pointer facilitation technique. In some embodiments, the plurality of input devices includes an eye tracking input device, each input device corresponds to a predefined input device type, and the movement parameters include gaze data from the eye tracking input device. In some embodiments, input devices includes an eye tracking input device, a head-mounted display, and a hand-held controller, and the user's eye, hand, and head movements are coordinated.
