Abstract
An electronic device with a display selects a subset of templates from a library of templates. Each of the templates comprises logged movements of one or more predefined input device types in a 3D space and each template includes one or more movement parameters. The electronic device tracks, for a user, movement parameters of at least one input device of the user. The at least one input device corresponds to one of the predefined input device types. The electronic device compares the tracked movement parameters of the at least one input device of the user to the movement parameters for the subset of the templates selected from the library of templates. The electronic device predicts, based on the comparison, a goal target ray, within the 3D space. In some embodiments, the goal target ray is highlighted or visually emphasized according to the prediction.
