Gaze swipe selection

摘要

Methods for enabling hands-free selection of virtual objects are described. In some embodiments, a gaze swipe gesture may be used to select a virtual object. The gaze swipe gesture may involve an end user of a head-mounted display device (HMD) performing head movements that are tracked by the HMD to detect whether a virtual pointer controlled by the end user has swiped across two or more edges of the virtual object. In some cases, the gaze swipe gesture may comprise the end user using their head movements to move the virtual pointer through two edges of the virtual object while the end user gazes at the virtual object. In response to detecting the gaze swipe gesture, the HMD may determine a second virtual object to be displayed on the HMD based on a speed of the gaze swipe gesture and a size of the virtual object.

主权项

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display configured to display a virtual object, the virtual object includes a plurality of edges; and one or more processors configured to detect a gaze swipe activation event performed by an end user of the electronic device and cause the display to display an order of edge traversals in response to detection of the gaze swipe activation event, the one or more processors configured to display the order of edge traversals by displaying symbols overlaying two or more edges of the plurality of edges, the one or more processors configured to detect a gaze swipe gesture performed by the end user that traverses through two or more edges of the plurality of edges based on the order of edge traversals, the one or more processors configured to determine a second virtual object different from the virtual object based on the two or more edges traversed by the gaze swipe gesture and cause the display to display the second virtual object.
