Abstract
In various embodiments, computerized methods and systems for mediating interaction methodologies with virtual objects rendered in an immersive environment are provided. An intended target is identified from one or more virtual objects rendered in an at least partially-virtual environment. A relative proximity of the intended target to the user, or an extension of the user, is determined. An interaction methodology is selected for interaction with the intended target based on the determined relative proximity to the intended target, among other things. An indication of the selected interaction methodology is then provided to the user.
