Abstract
Systems, methods and computer readable media are disclosed for manipulating virtual objects. A user may utilize a controller, such as his hand, in physical space to associate with a cursor in a virtual environment. As the user manipulates the controller in physical space, this is captured by a depth camera. The image data from the depth camera is parsed to determine how the controller is manipulated, and a corresponding manipulation of the cursor is performed in virtual space. Where the cursor interacts with a virtual object in the virtual space, that virtual object is manipulated by the cursor.
