3D Selection Vault

Expanding targets and forced disocclusion

Targets under the pointer grow in size and occluding objects are pushed aside, making small and hidden targets easier to select.

How it works

The object nearest the pointer is enlarged in screen space, and objects that hide it are moved out of the line of sight until the selection is confirmed.
