FlowerCone
An adjustable cone collects candidates, which are then spread out in a flower layout for the user to pick.
How it works
The user points a cone whose aperture can be adjusted. Objects inside it are arranged around the cursor in a flower-like layout, and the target is selected from that layout with the controller.
