Abstract
A method includes determining a first gaze position within a content manipulation region based on eye tracking data from an eye tracker. The method includes determining a selection point associated with a physical surface, based on spatial selector data from a spatial selector tracker. The method includes displaying a computer-generated representation of a trackpad on the physical surface, based on the first gaze position and the selection point. In some implementations, a method includes displaying a user interface including a plurality of content manipulation regions, a plurality of affordances respectively associated with the plurality of content manipulation regions, and a computer-generated representation of a trackpad. The method includes detecting, via a spatial selector tracker, an input directed to a first affordance associated with a first content manipulation region. The method includes associating the computer-generated representation of the trackpad with the first content manipulation region, based on the input.
