Within fully immersive [[virtual reality]] and [[augmented reality]] (AR) [[head-mounted display]]s, a stylus offers a tangible “pen tip” that affords millimetre-scale accuracy. User studies comparing interaction modalities found that a stylus was the most precise for annotation, whereas hand tracking was the least. Pairing a stylus (for pointing) with a traditional controller (for grabbing) yielded the best overall performance.<ref name="ApplSci23"/> In AR, a stylus can be used to draw directly onto holographic content, e.g. labelling anatomical structures, which mitigates occlusion problems inherent in finger gestures. | Within fully immersive [[virtual reality]] and [[augmented reality]] (AR) [[head-mounted display]]s, a stylus offers a tangible “pen tip” that affords millimetre-scale accuracy.
