Abstract
Visualizable data (D) are obtained that represent a scene (S) with at least one object (). The visualizable data (D) describe the scene (S) as seen from a position (P). First and second measures (L; L) are determined, which represent extensions of one of the objects () in a smallest and a largest dimension respectively. An object aspect ratio (R) is calculated that represents a relationship between the first and second measures (L; L). Based on the object aspect ratio (R), a selection margin (M) is assigned to the object (). The selection margin designates a zone outside of the object () within which zone the object () is validly selectable for manipulation in addition to an area (A) of the object () shown towards a view (V) thereof as seen from the position (P). Thus, it is made easier to manipulatable the visualizable data (D) in response to user input, for instance in the form of gaze-based selection commands.
