1. A method for generating a virtual tablet in an extended reality environment comprising:
displaying on a display of an extended reality device of a user an extended reality environment;
detecting a hand gesture from a hand of the user and identifying the hand gesture as a request for a virtual tablet in the extended reality environment;
determining a furthest z-axis position of the hand of the user relative to the user's point of view in the extended reality environment; and
displaying the virtual tablet to the user at an n-distance added to the furthest z-axis position of the hand of the user, wherein the n-distance is calculated based on a size of the user's hand.
