Input device for VR/AR applications

This invention describes a handheld device for interacting with virtual or augmented reality, tracking your hand movements in 3D space to move a cursor limited to three directions. You can select and move application windows with a button, and another control lets you interact with their content. The claims specifically narrow the invention to a system that adjusts the sensitivity of virtual object movement, using settings like dots-per-inch (DPI).

Why it matters: Since 2020, VR/AR software platforms have significantly matured, making it easier to implement and customize advanced input mapping and sensitivity controls. The claims' focus on DPI settings for virtual object movement is now more readily integrated into modern VR/AR SDKs and engines.
