Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to gesture-based user interfaces (UIs) for artificial reality (XR) messaging applications. By supplementing or replacing 'gaze to tap' user interfaces with “ultra low friction” (ULF) gestures, a user is not required to repeatedly remove his focus from the real world to gaze at menu options in order to select them. The ULF gestures can include, for example, a single pinch motion to tell a messaging application to start recording a voice message. Releasing the pinch stops the recording and allows for editing, while a snap (or tug right) can stop the recording and send the message immediately. A tug left can delete the message unsent. Adding these ULF gestures to the messaging application's UI allows the user to fully engage with the application while maintaining visual focus on the real world, thus encouraging the user to remain connected through the XR system.
