Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods that interpret user activity, such as two hand gestures, as user interactions with virtual elements (e.g., UI elements) positioned within in a 3D space such as an XR environment. For example, an example process may include receiving data corresponding to user activity involving two hands of a user in a 3D coordinate system. The process may further include identifying actions performed by the two hands based on the data corresponding to the user activity, each of the two hands performing one of the identified actions. The process may further include determining whether the identified actions satisfy a criterion based on the data corresponding to the user activity. The process may further include determining to associate each of the actions performed by each of the two hands with a user intended action in accordance with determining that the identified actions satisfy the criterion.
