Abstract
Various implementations disclosed interpret direct touch-based gestures, such as drag and scroll gestures, made by a user virtually touching one position of a user interface and moving their hand to another position of the user interface. For example, such gestures may be made relative to a user interface presented in an extended reality (XR) environment. In some implementations, a user movement is interpreted using one or more techniques that avoid unexpected gain or loss of user-interface-associated motion. Some implementations determine which segments of a movement to associate with user interface content based on characteristics of the movement. Some implementations determine that a break occurs when a user movement leaves a break volume that is adjusted dynamically.
