Abstract
In various examples, the present disclosure describes methods and systems for interacting with virtual objects in an XR environment. A handheld input device including a transparent portion is held by a user while engaged in the XR environment. Camera tracking information is received from an external camera tracking system for tracking a position of the user's hand, for example, through the transparent portion of the device, and a position and orientation of the handheld input device is determined based on the camera tracking information. Touch information representative of touch inputs on a touch sensitive surface of the handheld input device may also be received. In examples, the position of the handheld input device and the touch inputs may be fed into a computing system for controlling interactions with virtual objects in the XR environment.
