Abstract
A method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a display. The method includes obtaining a scene graph that includes a plurality of nodes. Each of the plurality of nodes represents an object. The method includes identifying, within the plurality of nodes, a first subset of nodes based on each of the first subset of nodes satisfying a relevancy criterion with respect to a viewable region associated with the display. The first subset of nodes respectively represents a first subset of objects. The method includes assessing the first subset of objects in order to determine whether a spatial selector intersects with a particular object of the first subset of the objects. The method includes selecting the particular object based on determining that the spatial selector intersects with the particular object.
