Multimode cursor movement

An electronic device comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprises program instructions that, when executed on the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
• presenting an extended reality (XR) environment comprising a virtual element and a cursor;
• obtaining hand data corresponding to a three-dimensional (3D) movement of a hand in a 3D environment;
• and
• operating in first mode where the 3D motion of the cursor is converted to 2D motion;
• detecting a 3D user input criteria;
• and
• in response to said 3D user input criteria, modifying a mode of operation to a second mode where the 3D motion of the cursor is maintained without conversion to the 2D motion.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions executable via one or more processors, of an electronic device, to perform operations comprising:

• presenting an extended reality (XR) environment comprising a virtual element and a cursor;
• obtaining hand data corresponding to a three-dimensional (3D) movement of a hand in a 3D environment;
• and
• operating in first mode where the 3D motion of the cursor is converted to 2D motion;
• detecting a 3D user input criteria;
• and
• in response to said 3D user input criteria, modifying a mode of operation to a second mode where the 3D motion of the cursor is maintained without conversion to the 2D motion.
