Use basic hand gestures.
Use the following gestures to control the interface:
- Select: Touch and release your thumb and index finger together.

- Show more options: Touch and hold your thumb and index finger together for more than 2 seconds, then release.

- Scroll or swipe: Touch your thumb and index finger together, then flick in the desired direction (up, down, left, or right).

- Move: Pinch and drag with your thumb and index finger.

- Zoom in or out: Touch your thumb and index finger of both hands together, then spread them apart or bring them together.

Switch between hand and eye tracking.
In mixed mode (Hand and eye aiming), the system switches between hand gesture tracking and eye tracking based on the direction and speed of your hand movements:
- Switch to hand tracking: Extend your hand forward as if pointing toward the screen.
- Switch to eye tracking: Lower your hand below the screen while focusing your eyes on the target.
To use only hand tracking, navigate to and open Settings, then select Input. Select Aiming method, then select Hand aiming only, and then select Apply.

Adjust gesture sensitivity.
In the aiming method settings, you can turn on the High gesture sensitivity option to make hand gestures more responsive during auto-switching between eye and hand tracking. To do so, navigate to and open Settings, and then select Input. Select Aiming Method, and then choose Hand and eye aiming. Select the Settings icon (it looks like a gear) next to Hand and eye aiming, and then turn on the switch next to High gesture sensitivity.
