Abstract
In a control system for navigating in a virtual reality environment, a user may select a virtual feature in the virtual environment, and set an anchor point on the selected feature. The user may then move, or adjust position, relative to the feature, and/or move and/or scale the feature in the virtual environment, maintaining the portions of the feature at the set anchor point within the user's field of view of the virtual environment.
