Abstract
A method includes, while presenting an artificial-reality environment that includes a virtual object and a representation of a physical object, detecting, based on data from a first group of sensors of a wrist-wearable device, that the wrist-wearable device is within a first distance of an electronic device responsive to user gestures and within another threshold distance of the virtual object. The electronic device is represented within the artificial-reality environment. The method includes, while the wrist-wearable device is within the first activation-threshold distance of the electronic device and is also within a second activation-threshold distance of the virtual object, determining, based on data from a second set of sensors of the wrist-wearable device, that a gesture corresponds to an operation at the electronic device. And the method includes, based on determining that the user gesture corresponds to the operation, causing the physical electronic device to perform the operation.
