Abstract
Navigating interactive elements in augmented and extended reality (AR/XR) environments often relies on hand gestures, controllers, or long-form voice commands, which can be imprecise, physically fatiguing, and inefficient. Current methods lack a mechanism for rapid, low-effort, hands-free target selection. This disclosure describes a process where a user initiates an interaction mode with a simple voice command or gesture. In response, all visible interactive elements are overlaid with unique, easily pronounceable syllables or words. The user selects a target by speaking the corresponding syllable or word, which triggers the associated action. This technique provides a fast, precise, and discreet method for interacting with user interfaces in spatial computing, reducing physical effort and cognitive load compared to conventional selection methods.
