Artificial reality input for two-dimensional virtual objects

Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to translating artificial reality input for two-dimensional virtual objects. Implementations immerse a user in a three-dimensional artificial reality environment via an artificial reality system. Colliders are artificiality reality device environment interaction components, such as a rays, cones, virtual user hands, etc. Implementations of an input translator detect artificial reality device collider interactions with two-dimensional virtual objects and translate the artificial reality inputs into input that is compatible with the two-dimensional virtual object, such as two-dimensional coordinates, button actions, scroll actions, and the like. For example, the two-dimensional virtual objects can be display content for an application executing at the artificial reality system. Implementation can translate the artificial reality input into two-dimensional coordinates at the virtual object and/or application level actions and/or events (e.g., cursor movement, virtual button pushes, etc.).
