Abstract
Methods, systems, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable media are provided for enabling gesture interaction with invisible virtual objects. In one implementation, the computer-readable medium includes instructions to cause a processor to receive image data captured by at least one image sensor of a wearable extended reality appliance in a field of view; display a plurality of virtual objects in a portion of the field of view; receive a selection of a specific physical object; receive a selection of a specific virtual object; dock the specific virtual object with the specific physical object; when the specific physical object and the specific virtual object are outside the portion of the field of view such that the specific virtual object is invisible to a user of the wearable extended reality appliance, receive a gesture input indicating interaction with the specific virtual object; and cause an output associated with the specific virtual object.
