1. A method comprising, by an extended reality (XR) display device:
rendering, for one or more displays of the XR display device, a first sequence of image frames of an XR environment, wherein the first sequence of image frames portrays a virtual content organizer with a plurality of user-interactable elements corresponding to a first respective plurality of operations, wherein the virtual content organizer is spherically shaped, wherein the virtual content organizer is in a first pose, wherein a first subset of user-interactable elements of the plurality of user-interactable elements is selectable from the first pose, and wherein the virtual content organizer is operable to be manipulated within the XR environment with six degrees of freedom, wherein manipulations along the one or more of the six degrees of freedom correspond to a plurality of criteria for navigating the plurality of user-interactable elements;
receiving one or more first gesture inputs associated with a first manipulation of the virtual content organizer along one or more of the six degrees of freedom from the first pose to a second pose;
rendering, for the one or more displays of the XR display device, a second sequence of image frames of the XR environment, wherein the second sequence of image frames portrays the virtual content organizer in the second pose, wherein a second subset of user-interactable elements of the plurality of elements is selectable from the second pose;
receiving a selection of a particular user-interactable element from the second subset of user-interactable elements, wherein the particular user-interactable element corresponds to a particular operation of the first respective plurality of operations; and
executing the particular operation.
