A method of interacting with one or more objects in a virtual reality (VR)
space. A user input establishes a pointing mode, whereupon a visual
indicator, such as a pointer, is displayed on the user's viewing device,
and the visual indicator is moved on the viewing device to refer to an
object in the VR space, in response to actuation of a pointing device such
as a mouse, joystick or pen. An image of the user's avatar may also be
displayed in the VR space, and the avatar may have an appendage or
pointing appliance to point to a target in the 3-D space. A user can point
in this manner with high precision, as well as draw illustrations, etc.
Other users (viewers) of the same VR space can see the first user's avatar
pointing to the target. Another viewer's display can be dynamically
adjusted to present an appropriate perspective of the VR space to show the
target.
