    Abstract: A method includes displaying a plurality of computer-generated objects, and obtaining finger manipulation data from a finger-wearable device via a communication interface. In some implementations, the method includes receiving an untethered input vector that includes a plurality of untethered input indicator values. Each of the plurality of untethered input indicator values is associated with one of a plurality of untethered input modalities. In some implementations, the method includes obtaining proxy object manipulation data from a physical proxy object via the communication interface. The proxy object manipulation data corresponds to sensor data associated with one or more sensors integrated in the physical proxy object. The method includes registering an engagement event with respect to a first one of the plurality of computer-generated objects based on a combination of the finger manipulation data, the untethered input vector, and the proxy object manipulation data.

    Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, a display, and an extremity tracker. The method includes obtaining extremity tracking data via the extremity tracker. The method includes displaying a computer-generated representation of a trackpad that is spatially associated with a physical surface. The physical surface is viewable within the display along with a content manipulation region that is separate from the computer-generated representation of the trackpad. The method includes identifying a first location within the computer-generated representation of the trackpad based on the extremity tracking data. The method includes mapping the first location to a corresponding location within the content manipulation region. The method includes displaying an indicator indicative of the mapping. The indicator may overlap the corresponding location within the content manipulation region.

    Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, a display, and a communication interface provided to communicate with a finger-wearable device. The method includes displaying first instructional content that is associated with a first gesture. The first instructional content includes a first object. The method includes determining an engagement score that characterizes a level of user engagement with respect to the first object. The method includes obtaining finger manipulation data from the finger-wearable device via the communication interface. The method includes determining that the finger-wearable device performs the first gesture based on a function of the finger manipulation data. The method includes, in response to determining that the finger-wearable device performs the first gesture, in accordance with a determination that the engagement score satisfies an engagement criterion, displaying an indication indicating that the first gesture is directed to the first object.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores program instructions computer-executable on one or more processors of an electronic device to perform operations. The operations include presenting, on a display of the electronic device, a simulated reality (SR) environment at a first immersion level, where the first immersion level is associated with a first location of a reality boundary. Using a rotatable input device of the electronic device, input is received representing a request to change the first immersion level to a second immersion level. In accordance with receiving the input, the SR environment is presented at the second immersion level, where the second immersion level is associated with a second location of the reality boundary.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores program instructions computer-executable on a computer to perform operations. The operations include obtaining first content representing a physical environment in which an electronic device is located using an image sensor of the electronic device. A physical feature corresponding to a physical object in the physical environment is detected using the first content. A feature descriptor corresponding to a physical parameter of the physical feature is determined using the first content. Second content representing a computer generated reality (CGR) environment is generated based on the feature descriptor and presented on a display of the electronic device.
