Virtual affordance display at virtual target

A computing device for displaying a virtual affordance with a virtual target, the computing device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory holding instructions executable by the processor to:
• display the virtual target to a user via a display device;
• determine that a point of gaze of the user is at a gaze location that is within a target zone including the virtual target;
• determine that a hand of the user is at a hand location within a designated tracking volume;
• based on at least determining that the point of gaze of the user is at the gaze location and determining that the hand of the user is at the hand location, display the virtual affordance at the landing location via the display device, wherein the landing location is independent of both the gaze location within the target zone and the hand location within the designated tracking volume;
• track movement of the hand;
• and
• modify the virtual affordance in response to the movement of the hand.

A head-mounted display device, comprising:

• an at least partially see-through display;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory holding instructions executable by the processor to:
• display a virtual target to a user via a display device;
• determine that a point of gaze of the user is at a gaze location that is within a target zone including the virtual target;
• determine that a hand of the user is at a hand location within a designated tracking volume;
• based on at least determining that the point of gaze of the user is at the gaze location and determining that the hand of the user is at the hand location, display the virtual affordance at a landing location via the display device, wherein the landing location is independent of both the gaze location within the target zone and the hand location within the designated tracking volume;
• track movement of the hand;
• and
• modify the virtual affordance in response to the movement of the hand.
