Incremental highlighting during virtual object selection

A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to perform incremental convergence operations in an extended reality environment, the operations comprising:

• displaying a plurality of dispersed virtual objects across a plurality of virtual regions, the plurality of virtual regions including at least a first virtual region and a second virtual region that differs from the first virtual region;
• receiving an initial kinesics input tending toward the first virtual region;
• highlighting a group of adjacent virtual objects in the first virtual region based on the initial kinesics input;
• receiving a refined kinesics input tending toward a particular virtual object from among the highlighted group of adjacent virtual objects;
• and
• triggering a functionality associated with the particular virtual object based on the refined kinesics input.

A method for incremental convergence in an extended reality environment during virtual object selection, the method comprising:

• displaying a plurality of dispersed virtual objects across a plurality of virtual regions, the plurality of virtual regions including at least a first virtual region and a second virtual region that differs from the first virtual region;
• receiving an initial kinesics input tending toward the first virtual region;
• highlighting a group of adjacent virtual objects in the first virtual region based on the initial kinesics input;
• receiving a refined kinesics input tending toward a particular virtual object from among the highlighted group of adjacent virtual objects;
• and
• triggering a functionality associated with the particular virtual object based on the refined kinesics input.

A system for implementing incremental convergence in an extended reality environment during virtual object selection, the system comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:
• display a plurality of dispersed virtual objects across a plurality of virtual regions, the plurality of virtual regions including at least a first virtual region and a second virtual region that differs from the first virtual region;
• receive an initial kinesics input tending toward the first virtual region;
• highlight a group of adjacent virtual objects in the first virtual region based on the initial kinesics input;
• receive a refined kinesics input tending toward a particular virtual object from among the highlighted group of adjacent virtual objects;
• and
• trigger a functionality associated with the particular virtual object based on the refined kinesics input.
