A selection of a first subset of dashboard panels included in a plurality of dashboard panels is received via an input device associated with the extended reality environment. Each dashboard panel included in the plurality of dashboard panels includes a visual representation of data. The first subset of dashboard panels is displayed in a foreground area of a workspace of the XR environment. A second subset of dashboard panels included in the plurality of dashboard panels is displayed in a background area of the workspace of the XR environment. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving, via an input device associated with an extended reality (XR) environment, a selection of a first subset of dashboard panels included in a plurality of dashboard panels, wherein each dashboard panel included in the plurality of dashboard panels includes a visual representation of data;

displaying, within each dashboard panel included in the first subset of dashboard panels, a corresponding visual cursor at a location on the dashboard panel that is determined based on the first position of the pointer; detecting, on the first dashboard panel included in the first subset of dashboard panels, movement of the pointer from the first position to a second position; and displaying, within each dashboard panel included in the first subset of dashboard panels, the corresponding visual cursor at a different location on the dashboard panel that is determined based on the second position of the pointer. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein: the first position corresponds to a first timestamp of a first visual representation included in the first dashboard panel;

determining that the third position is outside of a first visual representation included in the first dashboard panel; and in response to the determination, removing the visual cursor from each dashboard panel in the first subset of dashboard panels. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the first position corresponds to a first value on an x-axis of a first visual representation included in the first dashboard panel, and further comprising displaying, within each dashboard panel included in the first subset of dashboard panels, a corresponding second value on a y-axis. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The computer-implemented method of claim 5, further comprising: displaying, within each dashboard panel included in the first subset of dashboard panels, an indicator at an intersection between the first value and the second value. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising causing a second subset of dashboard panels included in the plurality of dashboard panels to be displayed on a background area of the workspace along a curve. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The computer-implemented method of claim 7, wherein: the first dashboard panel includes a first visual representation at a first information density level associated with a first level of detail; at least one dashboard panel in the second subset of dashboard panels includes a second visual representation at a second information density level associated with a second level of detail; and the second information density level is different from the first information density level. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the first subset of dashboard panels is displayed in the foreground area on a curve that follows a curvature of the foreground area. ### Claim 10 One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of: receiving, via an input device associated with an extended reality (XR) environment, a selection of a first subset of dashboard panels included in a plurality of dashboard panels, wherein each dashboard panel included in the plurality of dashboard panels includes a visual representation of data; causing the first subset of dashboard panels to be displayed in a foreground area of a workspace of the XR environment; detecting, on a first dashboard panel included in the first subset of dashboard panels, a first position of a pointer associated with the input device; displaying, within at least one other dashboard panel included in the first subset of dashboard panels, a corresponding visual cursor at a location on the dashboard panel that is determined based on the first position of the pointer; detecting, on the first dashboard panel included in the first subset of dashboard panels, movement of the pointer from the first position to a second position; and displaying, within the at least one other dashboard panel included in the first subset of dashboard panels, the corresponding visual cursor at a different location on the dashboard panel that is determined based on the second position of the pointer. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 10, wherein: the first position corresponds to a first timestamp of a first visual representation included in the first dashboard panel;
