The disclosed technology executes a next operation in a set of associated application windows. A first application window and a second application window are added to the set. A first context is generated from content from the first application window. A selection of the content is detected from first application window. The first context is communicated as input to the second application window, responsive to detecting the selection. The next operation in the second application window is executed using the first context as input to the next operation, responsive to communicating the first context.

Inter-application context seeding

Methods and devices for initiating application and system modal control of a computer device based on predicted locations of a hand outside of a field of view using a computer device are disclosed. The method includes receiving hand motion information from a hand positional tracking system that tracks a position of a hand of a user. The method also includes determining the hand is outside a field of view of the computer device based on the hand motion information. The method further includes predicting a location of the hand while outside the field of view. The method also includes interacting with a secondary UX on the display based on the predicted location of the hand.

Various methods and systems, for implementing three-dimensional resource integration, are provided. 3D resource integration includes integration of 3D resources into different types of functionality, such as, operating system, file explorer, application and augmented reality functionality. In operation, an indication to perform an operation with a 3D object is received. One or more 3D resource controls, associated with the operation, are accessed. The 3D resource control is a defined set of instructions on how to integrate 3D resources with 3D objects for generating 3D-based graphical interfaces associated with application features and operating system features. An input based on one or more control elements of the one or more 3D resource controls is received. The input includes the one or more control elements that operate to generate a 3D-based graphical interface for the operation. Based on receiving the input, the operation is executed with the 3D object and the 3D-based graphical interface.
