Abstract
A system configured to facilitate interactions with virtual content in an interactive space may comprise one or more of a hand tracking device, a light source, an optical element, one or more physical processors, non-transitory electronic storage, and/or other components. The hand tracking device may be configured to generate output signals conveying ranges of surfaces and/or objects present in the real world. A hand of a user may be identified and tracked through three-dimensional space. A virtual cursor may be presented as positionally linked with the hand. The virtual cursor may be modified to reflect change in hand pose. As the hand comes close to virtual objects, an individual virtual object may be modified to reflect which virtual object is closest to the hand.
