Abstract
A user may select or interact with objects in a scene using gaze tracking and movement tracking. In some examples, the scene may comprise a virtual reality scene or a mixed reality scene. A user may move an input object in an environment and be facing in a direction towards the movement of the input object. A computing device may use sensors to obtain movement data corresponding to the movement of the input object, and gaze tracking data including to a location of eyes of the user. One or more modules of the computing device may use the movement data and gaze tracking data to determine a three-dimensional selection space in the scene. In some examples, objects included in the three-dimensional selection space may be selected or otherwise interacted with.
