Cezve

Also known as Turkish coffee pot

A virtual Turkish coffee pot held in the hand: it pulls targets just beyond reach into the pot, where they are picked with the virtual hand.

How it works

The user holds a virtual cezve whose long handle extends their reach. A 30-degree cone reaching 50 cm out of the pot's opening pulls candidate objects towards the pot (at 0.75 m/s); up to eight captured objects are shrunk and arranged inside it. Bringing the pot closer moves them into arm's reach, where the target is selected directly with the virtual hand. There is no ray and no mode switch.
