Abstract
Examples are disclosed herein that relate to processing three-dimensional user input. One example provides a method of processing user input in a three-dimensional coordinate system, comprising receiving a user input of an origin reset for the three-dimensional coordinate system, responsive to receiving the user input of the origin reset, resetting an origin of the three-dimensional coordinate system, receiving three-dimensional user input in the three-dimensional coordinate system, while the origin remains set, measuring at least one three-dimensional displacement of the three-dimensional user input relative to the origin, and causing movement of a user interface element displayed in a user interface, the movement based on the at least one measured three-dimensional displacement.
