  • Publication number: 20250321630
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to operating an artificial reality system in single-handed mode. Artificial reality systems receive user input via several channels, however conventional systems lack functionality that helps diverse users operate these systems. Some types of input, such as input that requires movement of two hands and/or two hand-held controllers, may be more challenging for some diverse individuals to provide or may not be possible in certain situations, e.g., where one controller is disabled. Implementations operate artificial reality systems in single-handed mode, such as by translating instances of single-handed input into two-handed input. For example, the translated two-handed input can cause application functionality at the artificial reality system that would otherwise pose a challenge for some diverse individual.
