Abstract
The technology disclosed relates to using virtual attraction between hand or other control object in a three-dimensional (3D) sensory space and a virtual object in a virtual space. In particular, it relates to defining a virtual attraction zone of a hand or other control object that is tracked in a three-dimensional (3D) sensory space and generating one or more interaction forces between the control object and a virtual object in a virtual space that cause motion of the virtual object responsive to proximity of the control object to the virtual object and escalation with a virtual pinch or grasp action of the control object directed to a manipulation point of the virtual object.
