Abstract

See full text

Techniques described herein dynamically adapt an amount of smoothing that is applied to signals of a device (e.g., positions and/or orientations of an input mechanism, positions and/or orientations of an output mechanism) based on a determined distance between an object and the device, or based on a determined distance between the object and another device (e.g., a head-mounted device). The object can comprise one of a virtual object presented on a display of the head-mounted device or a real-world object within a view of the user. The object can be considered a “target” object based on a determination that a user is focusing on, or targeting, the object. For example, the head-mounted device or other devices can sense data associated with an eye gaze of a user and can determine, based on the sensed data, that the user is looking at the target object.
