But there are times when virtual objects will be farther away than arm’s reach, beyond the user’s range of direct manipulation. As part of its interactive design sprints, Leap Motion , creators of the hand-tracking peripheral of the same name, prototyped three ways of effectively interacting with distant objects in VR.
