Methods and Systems for Selecting a Virtual Element in a Virtual or Augmented Reality Environment Generated by an Electronic Device

A method of selecting a virtual element in a virtual reality or augmented reality (VR/AR) environment generated by a VR/AR device includes detecting, with one or more processors, a cursor interacting with the virtual element. One or more sensors determine whether either the VR/AR device is stationary for at least a predefined duration while the cursor interacts with the virtual element or whether a variation of a predefined number of movement measurement samples is within a predefined variation threshold while the cursor interacts with the virtual element. When the condition is met, one or more processors select and/or actuate the virtual element.
