Abstract
Techniques for interacting with a three-dimensional (3D) virtual environment including receiving a first user input for selecting a first virtual object; identifying, in response to the first user input, the first virtual object as a currently selected virtual object; receiving a second user input for activating an object reorientation mode; activating, in response to the second user input, an object reorientation mode; receiving a third user input indicating changes in pose of a hand; receiving, while the first virtual object has remained a currently selected virtual object the object reorientation mode has remained active, a fourth user input; identifying a first orientation of a reference virtual object; and changing, in response to receiving the fourth user input, an object space orientation of the first virtual object to having the first orientation from a different second orientation.
