Abstract
The technology disclosed relates to selecting a virtual item from a virtual grid in a three-dimensional (3D) sensory space. It also relates to navigating a virtual modality displaying a plurality of virtual items arranged in a grid by and automatically selecting a virtual item in a virtual grid at a terminal end of a control gesture of a control object responsive to a terminal gesture that transitions the control object from one physical arrangement to another. In one implementation, the control object is a hand. In some implementations, physical arrangements of the control object include at least a flat hand with thumb parallel to fingers, closed, half-open, pinched, curled, fisted, mime gun, okay sign, thumbs-up, ILY sign, one-finger point, two-finger point, thumb point, or pinkie point.
