3D Selection Vault

Hand-on-Corner

Also known as HOC

Two-handed box selection: the non-dominant hand holds one corner of the box and places it; the dominant hand holds the opposite corner and sizes it.

How it works

The bottom front corner of a 3D selection box is attached to the non-dominant hand, which sets its position and orientation; the top back corner follows the dominant hand, so the space between the hands is the box's width, height and depth. All three techniques shape a 3D selection box with two tracked handheld devices; everything inside the box is selected with the SELECT button. Designed for splat-based volumetric data on a desktop monitor.
