Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to interacting with a virtual scene at a perspective which is independent from the perspective of the user. Methods and systems can include either tracking and defining a perspective of the user based on the position and orientation of the user in the physical space, projecting a virtual scene for the user perspective to a virtual plane, tracking and defining a perspective of the a freehand user input device based on the position and orientation of the a freehand user input device, identifying a mark in the virtual scene which corresponds to the position and orientation of the device in the physical space, creating a virtual segment from the mark and interacting with virtual objects in the virtual scene at the end point of the virtual segment, as controlled using the device.
