Abstract
An extended reality (XR) handheld controller to operate with a head-mounted display (HMD) device and information handling system includes the HMD device having an HMD processor, a data storage device, and an HMD display device to present to a user an XR image of an environment and the XR handheld controller may include a handheld controller microcontroller, a handle portion, a multimodal joystick, and a fingerprint reader formed into the multimodal joystick, wherein the multimodal joystick provides directional input when the fingerprint reader detects a user's fingerprint and the user tilts the multimodal joystick in a direction, and wherein the multimodal joystick provides push-button input when the fingerprint reader does not detect the user's fingerprint and the user presses a side of the multimodal joystick.
