3D Selection Vault

Shadow cone selection

Only objects that stay inside the hand's cone for the whole pointing gesture remain selectable.

How it works

While the button is held, the user sweeps the cone; candidates that leave the cone at any time drop out. The object that remains when the button is released is selected.
