Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to triggering virtual keyboard selections using multiple input modalities. An interface manager can display an interface, such as a virtual keyboard, to a user in an artificial reality environment. Implementations of the interface manager can track user eye gaze input and user hand input (e.g., hand or finger motion). The interface manager can resolve a character selection on the virtual keyboard according to the tracked user gaze input based on detection that the user's hand motion meets a trigger criteria. For example, the interface manager can: detect that the tracked user hand motion meets the trigger criteria at a given point in time; and resolve a selection from the virtual keyboard (e.g., selection of a displayed character) according to the tracked user gaze on the virtual keyboard at the given point in time.
