Abstract
An eXtended Reality (XR) system that provides a hand-located XR user interface to a user. The XR system captures tracking data of a user's hands using one or more sensors. The XR system uses the tracking data to generate the hand-located XR user interface that includes one or more interactive virtual objects associated with one or more locations on a surface of the first hand of the user which the user can interact with using a digit of a second hand. Upon detecting a hand touch of the surface of the first hand by a digit of the second hand, the XR system executes a function or process associated with an interactive virtual object associated with the location of the hand touch. The hand-located XR user interface can be provided within or outside of a field of view of an optical element that provides images of the interactive virtual objects.
