A system and method for mapping a user's gestural interactions (positional interactions and pointing interactions) from their environment to that of their avatar's environment. The system and method provide a multi-objective optimization (MO) process with the primary objective being to minimize the positional error between the end effector and goal target and the secondary objective being to preserve the original body pose while redirecting the end effector to the goal target. The primary and second objectives are addressed with a dynamic weight allocation approach that optimizes between the objectives of body joint redirection and preserving the body pose of the original interaction.
