Abstract
Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are provided for moving a virtual cursor along two traversing virtual planes. In one implementation, the computer-readable medium includes instructions to cause a processor to generate, via a wearable extended reality appliance, a display including a virtual cursor and virtual objects located on a first virtual plane that traverses a second virtual plane overlying a physical surface; receive a first two-dimensional input reflective of an intent to select a first virtual object located on the first virtual plane; cause a first cursor movement, toward the first virtual object, along the first virtual plane; receive a second two-dimensional input reflective of an intent to select a second virtual object appearing on the physical surface; and cause a second cursor movement, toward the second virtual object, including a partial movement along the first virtual plane and a partial movement along the second virtual plane.
