Zusammenfassung:A computer-implemented method includes emitting a grasping ray from a motion control user interface device, sweeping a simulated physical area for at least one simulated object with the grasping ray emitted by the motion control user interface device, determining whether the at least one simulated object is graspable, and responsive to determining that the at least one simulated object is graspable, attaching the motion control user interface device to the at least one simulated object using an articulation having a stretched position and a relaxed position. The articulation is in the stretched position when the motion control user interface device is attached to the at least one simulated object.
