Abstract
A method includes, while displaying a computer-generated object at a first position within an environment, obtaining extremity tracking data from an extremity tracker. The first position is outside of a drop region that is viewable using the display. The method includes moving the computer-generated object from the first position to a second position within the environment based on the extremity tracking data. The method includes, in response to determining that the second position satisfies a proximity threshold with respect to the drop region, detecting an input that is associated with a spatial region of the environment. The method includes moving the computer-generated object from the second position to a third position that is within the drop region, based on determining that the spatial region satisfies a focus criterion associated with the drop region.
