Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that associate user activities with user interface (UI) elements within a 3D environment. Some implementations do so in ways that account for inaccuracies (i.e., fuzziness) in sensor-based detection of the user activities, e.g., inaccuracy in sensor data-based gaze tracking or sensor data-based hand/joint position. Some implementations use a sampling technique to associate user activity in a 3D environment with an appropriate portion of a UI positioned within a 3D environment. For example, a sampling technique may be used to identify sample locations within the 3D environment (e.g., sample locations around a gaze direction) to evaluate and ultimately select from to associate with a user activity, e.g., associating a particular UI button with a gaze direction.
