1. A device comprising:

  • a display configured to present virtual content;

    an interface communicatively coupled to an input mechanism that is configured to collect data associated with motion of the input mechanism;

    one or more processors communicatively coupled to the display; and

    memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to perform operations comprising;

    receiving, via the interface and from the input mechanism, first data associated with first motion of the input mechanism;

    determining a location of a physical object capable of restricting the first motion of the input mechanism;

    analyzing the first data associated with the first motion of the input mechanism and the location of the physical object to determine at least part of a range of motion of the input mechanism;

    determining a restricted area of the display, wherein the restricted area comprises a portion of a display area and an interaction with a virtual object presented in the restricted area is limited by the range of motion of the input mechanism;

    adjusting a parameter that correlates an amount of motion of the input mechanism to an amount of motion of a virtual element presented by the display;

    receiving, via the interface and from the input mechanism, second data associated with second motion of the input mechanism; and

    controlling, using the adjusted parameter and based on the second data associated with the second motion of the input mechanism, the virtual element presented by the display to perform the interaction with the virtual object presented in the restricted area of the display.
