Abstract
In some embodiments, a stylus device can be configured for use in an augmented/virtual (AR/VR) reality environment and can include a first portion and a second portion, where the first portion of the housing is substantially linear and can be configured to be held by a user's hand while the stylus device is in use. The first portion may include a tip configured to operate as an interface between the stylus device and objects within the AR/VR environment. The second portion of the housing may be non-linear and bent to traverse three dimensions including a section of the second portion that is bent longitudinally toward a line co-linear with the first portion of the housing. In some cases, the second portion of the housing may include a plurality of emitters or sensors configured for facilitating a tracking of the stylus device in three-dimensional space within the AR/VR environment.
