Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for using a gaze vector and head pose information to effectuate a user interaction with a virtual object. In some implementations, a device includes a sensor for sensing a head pose of a user, a display, one or more processors, and a memory. In various implementations, a method includes displaying a set of virtual objects. Based on a gaze vector, it is determined that a gaze of the user is directed to a first virtual object of the set of virtual objects. A head pose value corresponding to the head pose of the user is obtained. An action relative to the first virtual object is performed based on the head pose value satisfying a head pose criterion.
