    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods that interpret user activity as user interactions with virtual elements (e.g., UI elements) positioned within in a 3D space such as an XR environment. Some implementations use an architecture that receives application UI geometry in a system or shared simulation area and outputs interaction events data (e.g., less than all user activity data) for an application to use to recognize input to the application. An OS process may be configured to provide an input support process to support recognizing input intended for one or more separately-executing applications, for example, by providing some input recognition tasks to recognize user activity as input for the applications or by converting user activity data into a format that can be more easily, accurately, efficiently, or effectively interpreted by the applications and/or in a way that facilitates preservation of user privacy.

    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.
