    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 includes displaying a plurality of computer-generated objects, including a first computer-generated object at a first position within an environment and a second computer-generated object at a second position within the environment. The first computer-generated object corresponds to a first user interface element that includes a first set of controls for modifying a content item. The method includes, while displaying the plurality of computer-generated objects, obtaining extremity tracking data. The method includes moving the first computer-generated object from the first position to a third position within the environment based on the extremity tracking data. The method includes, in accordance with a determination that the third position satisfies a proximity threshold with respect to the second position, merging the first computer-generated object with the second computer-generated object in order to generate a third computer-generated object for modifying the content item. The method includes displaying the third computer-generated object.

    Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, a display, an extremity tracking system, and a communication interface provided to communicate with a finger-wearable device. The method includes displaying a computer-generated object on the display. The method includes obtaining finger manipulation data from the finger-wearable device via the communication interface. The method includes determining a multi-finger gesture based on extremity tracking data from the extremity tracking system and the finger manipulation data. The method includes registering an engagement event with respect to the computer-generated object according to the multi-finger gesture.

    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.
