3D Selection Vault

Flower Ray

For volumetric displays: every object the ray intersects is fanned out in a flower-like menu so the user can choose among them.

How it works

The ray selects all objects along its path. On a button press, the intersected objects are spread out in a marking-menu style layout around the cursor, and the user picks the intended one.
