A system and method is provided that facilitates the selection of individually selectable three dimensional objects displayed through a display device. The system may include at least one processor that is configured to determine at least one path that traverses the objects based on at least one motion input received through an input device. The processor may also cause at least two of the objects to be selected in a group while at least one of the objects remains unselected based on an amount of a surface area of each object that was traversed by the at least one path. In addition, the processor may cause at least one operation to be carried out on the group of at least two objects that are selected and not on the at least one object that remains unselected based on whether the objects are selected, responsive to at least one operation input received through the input device.
