Abstract
A method for improving user interaction with a virtual environment includes presenting the virtual environment to a user on a display, measuring a gaze location of a user's gaze relative to the virtual environment, casting an input ray from an input device, measuring an input ray location at a distal point of the input ray, and snapping a presented ray location to the gaze location when the input ray location is within a snap threshold distance of the input ray location.
