Abstract
Computing devices, head-mounted display devices and methods for processing spatial input signals from a pointing device are disclosed. In one example, a pointer is displayed within a desktop window that represents an operating system shell generated by a computing device. The desktop window and the pointer are displayed via a head-mounted display device within a three-dimensional environment. Spatial input signals are received from the pointing device and are translated into two-dimensional motion of the pointer within the desktop window. Based on determining that a location of the pointer moves outside the desktop window, the spatial input signals are translated into three-dimensional motion of the pointer within the three-dimensional environment displayed via the head-mounted display device.
