Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for adjusting a representation of a user's position within an artificial-reality application using a hand gesture. One example method includes, while displaying, via a head-wearable device worn by a user, a representation of a user's position within an artificial-reality environment, in response to receiving an indication that a positional-control activation hand gesture has been performed, displaying a positional-control user interface (UI) overlaid on a portion of the artificial-reality environment, the positional-control UI including a positional-control UI element configured to perform a positional-control action. The example method further includes, while displaying the positional-control UI, in response to receiving an indication that the positional-control UI element has been selected, via a positional-control input hand gesture, causing a change in the representation of the user's position within the artificial-reality environment based on the positional-control action, and displaying a changed representation of the user's position within the artificial-reality environment.
