1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
obtaining, in an extended reality (XR) environment, a virtual model corresponding to a hand of a user in a physical environment and used to represent a location of a virtual representation of the hand of the user within the XR environment;
identifying a virtual trackpad in the XR environment, wherein:
a surface of the virtual trackpad is configured to control a focus selector mapped to a surface of a distant virtual object in the XR environment,
the virtual trackpad is presented at a first location distinct from the location of the virtual representation of the hand of the user, and
the virtual trackpad is displayed in the XR environment generated within a near-eye display (NED) system;
in accordance with a determination that the virtual representation of the hand of the user is within a proximity threshold to the first location of the virtual trackpad, activating the virtual trackpad;
responsive to a determination that the virtual trackpad is activated, tracking a movement of the virtual representation of the hand and at least one finger associated with the virtual representation of the hand of the user, such that a sensitivity using to track the at least one finger is distinct from a different sensitivity used to track the virtual representation of the hand of the user;
responsive to a determination that the virtual trackpad is activated, tracking a movement of the virtual representation of the hand and at least one finger associated with the virtual representation of the hand of the user using the sensitivity;
determining an action to be performed in relation to the distant virtual object that corresponds to the movement; and
performing the action.
