Abstract
In a system for dynamic switching and merging of head, gesture and touch input in virtual reality, focus may be set on a first virtual in response to a first input implementing one of a number of different input modes. The first object may then be manipulated in the virtual world in response to a second input implementing another input mode. In response to a third input, focus may be shifted from the first object to a second object if, for example, a priority value of the third input is higher than a priority value of the first input. If the priority value of the third input is less than that of the first input, focus may remain on the first object. In response to certain trigger inputs, a display of virtual objects may be shifted between a far field display and a near field display to accommodate a particular mode of interaction with the virtual objects.
