Abstract
A method is performed at an electronic device with a non-transitory memory, one or more processors, and a display. The method includes obtaining positional information regarding an auxiliary device. The method includes determining an anchor point of the auxiliary device on a volumetric computer-generated object. Determining the anchor point includes setting the anchor point to a first position of the auxiliary device in accordance with a determination that dimensions of the volumetric computer-generated satisfy a first criterion. Determining the anchor point further includes setting the anchor point to a second position of the auxiliary device in accordance with a determination that the dimensions of the volumetric computer-generated object satisfy a second criterion different from the first criterion. The first position is different from the second position. The method includes anchoring, based on the positional information, the volumetric computer-generated object to the anchor point of the auxiliary device.
