Techniques for data synchronization policies are described. In one or more implementations, techniques may be employed to set data synchronization (“sync”) policies for devices in a data sync environment. The sync policies specify parameters for sync operations in the sync environment, such as how frequently data sync operations are performed, what types of data are synced to particular devices, how frequently particular types of data are synced, and so on. In implementations, the sync policies consider the number of devices that are participating in a sync environment and attributes of the devices in specifying parameters for sync operations. Data can be synchronized among devices in the sync environment based on the sync policies.

Embodiments are directed to a near eye display (NED) system for displaying artificial reality content to a user and to manipulate displayed content items based upon gestures performed by users of the NED system. A user of the NED system may perform a gesture simulating the throwing of an object to “cast” a content item to a target location in an artificial reality (AR) environment displayed by the NED system. The gesture may comprise a first portion in which the user's hand “grabs” or “pinches” a virtual object corresponding to the content item and moves backwards relative to their body, and a second portion in which the user's hand moves forwards relative to their body and releases the virtual object. The target location may be identified based upon a trajectory associated with the backwards motion of the first portion of the gesture.

A system includes a near eye display (NED) that comprises an optical assembly with an electronic display, an imaging sensor configured to capture images of a user's hands, and an eye imaging sensor configured to capture images of an eye of the user. The system also includes a controller configured to determine eye tracking information using the captured images of the eye, the eye tracking information indicating a gaze orientation, wherein the gaze orientation terminates at first location. The controller determines that a pose of the user's hand indicates a pinch gesture based on the captured images of the user's hands. The controller also identifies an object in the local area that is at the first location, and updates the display instructions to cause the electronic display to display an indication of a selection of the object in an artificial reality environment.

A system includes a near eye display (NED) that is configured to display images in accordance with display instructions. The system also includes an imaging sensor configured to capture images. The system further includes a controller configured to identify the object in the captured images using one or more recognition patterns, and to determine a pose of the user's hand based on the captured images, with the determined pose indicating a touch gesture with the identified object. The controller also updates the display instructions to cause the electronic display to display a virtual menu in an artificial reality environment, with the virtual menu within a threshold distance of the position of the object in the artificial reality environment.
