Abstract
An artificial-reality apparatus may include a wearable band dimensioned to be worn around a portion of a user's hand. The artificial-reality apparatus may also include a primary tactile-input location at an outer surface of the wearable band to facilitate inspecting an artificial-reality element when another hand of the user activates the primary tactile-input location. Additionally, the artificial-reality apparatus may include a secondary tactile-input location at the outer surface of the wearable band to facilitate manipulating the artificial-reality element when the user's other hand simultaneously activates the primary tactile-input location and the secondary tactile-input location. Furthermore, the artificial-reality apparatus may include a computing subsystem contained by the wearable band that communicatively couples the primary tactile-input location and the secondary tactile-input location to an artificial-reality system. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
