Abstract
An artificial reality system is described that renders, presents, and controls user interface elements within an artificial reality environment, and performs actions in response to one or more detected gestures of the user. The artificial reality system includes an image capture device, a head-mounted display (HMD), a user interface (UI) engine, and a rendering engine. The image capture device captures image data representative of a physical environment. The HMD outputs artificial reality content, the artificial reality content including an assistant element. The gesture detector identifies, from the image data, a gesture that includes a gripping motion of two or more digits of a hand to form a gripping configuration at a location that corresponds to the assistant element, and subsequent to the gripping motion, a throwing motion of the hand with respect to the assistant element. The UI engine generates a UI element in response to identifying the gesture.
