Android XR supports a wide array of input methods, from hand and eye tracking to traditional peripherals, empowering developers to create inclusive and customizable immersive experiences. Expand your skill set and learn to design for every user with multimodal inputs→ https://goo.gle/3FIyZyL 👋 Hand tracking enables natural interactions. Most gestures should be comfortable to perform repeatedly, and not require large hand or arm movements for extended periods of time. If you add virtual hands, ensure they are accurately tracked. If you add special gestures, small localized gestures are preferable to large sweeping movements. 🗣️ Voice commands are useful for hands-free interaction. Users can dictate text inputs and perform some app interactions with spoken instructions through Gemini. For example, a user might say "Open Google Maps" to open that app. 👁️ Eye tracking enables effortless interactions, such as selecting objects by looking at them. To minimize eye strain you can offer alternative input methods.
