Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that transport a cursor between surfaces of objects within an XR environment. For example, an example process may include displaying a movement of a cursor across a first surface of a first object in a view of a three-dimensional (3D) environment. The process may further include determining that movement of the cursor approaches or intersects a boundary of the first surface at a first position. The process may further include determining a second position on a second surface of a second object in the 3D environment based on a path of the cursor. The process may further include moving the cursor from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: Out-of-process hit-testing can provide increased privacy and efficiency in computer user input systems. In an aspect, an application specifies a control style for a UI window to be managed separately from the application, such as by a system process running outside of the application process. When a user input is received at a location corresponding to a part of the application UI that is separate from the UI window for which the control style has been specified, the user input may be redirected to the UI window for which the control style has been specified.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein more accurately or efficiently determine to which of multiple potential virtual objects user input should be directed in a 3D graphical environment. In some implementations, this involves using a rule that accounts for the types of the virtual objects to which a particular event may correspond. For example, a direction of intent may be identified and a rule used to determine to which of multiple potential virtual objects to associate an event.

Abstract: Some techniques are described herein for integrating a 2D framework with a 3D framework. Such techniques use a concept referred to as a hidden entity to link the two frameworks together. Other techniques are described herein for translating gestures from a first type to a second type in certain situations.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide virtual anchoring for extended reality (XR) display devices. A device may generate an XR environment that includes computer-generated (CG) content for display relative to various physical objects in a physical environment. In order to position the CG content, an XR application may request a physical anchor object to which the CG content can be anchored. In circumstances in which the physical anchor object is not available in the physical environment, a virtual anchor and/or a virtual anchor object corresponding to the physical anchor object can be provided to which the CG content can be anchored.
