Something that I find frustrating with the Meta Quest / Horizon OS user interface is that using the pointer is (to quote myself) like trying to press a doorbell with a pool cue.
When I worked on motion control games for kids we used this solution.
Feel free to use it (please!)

Only had Ghost playing in my head for about half of the construction.
