ABSTRACT:
An object selection of 3D objects in a computer-generated 3D environment method and system. The method includes defining a 3D space in a computer-generated environment. The method further includes identifying a plurality of 3D objects within the 3D space. Then, determining a line of selection though the 3D space. Further, determining a closet object of the plurality of 3D objects via comparative measurements between the plurality of 3D objects and the line of selection. In addition, enabling the closest object to be selected.
