A determination is made that at least two objects are visually similar, and a position of the two objects is ambiguous. At least one question based on the determined ambiguity is programmatically generated based on information known about the room, and is phrased such that the ambiguity can be resolved by an answer to the question. Based on the answer received one of the objects is selected. At least one property of the selected object is modified based upon the selection of one of the at least two objects.
