Systems and methods for providing a user interface for an environment that includes virtual objects

A method for providing, to a user, a user interface for an environment that comprises virtual objects, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by a system coupled to one or more hardware processors, from electronic storage, information regarding virtual objects, wherein a virtual 3D space comprising the virtual objects further comprises a set of voxels, wherein individual voxels of the set of voxels correspond to individual virtual 3D volumes;
• determining, by the system, a subset of voxels from the set of voxels such that the subset of voxels encompasses a 3D volume that comprises at least a part of a first external surface of a first virtual object of the virtual objects;
• determining, by the system, a manipulation granularity, wherein the manipulation granularity correlates an input magnitude of user input received from the user to an output magnitude of one or more manipulations of the first virtual object;
• adjusting, by the system, the manipulation granularity such that a reduction in magnitude of proximity information of the first virtual object corresponds to an increase in the manipulation granularity;
• and
• effectuating, by the system, presentation of the user interface to the user through a client computing platform, wherein the user interface depicts a manipulation of the first virtual object within the virtual 3D space.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more hardware processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• obtain, by the one or more hardware processors, from electronic storage, information regarding virtual objects, wherein a virtual three-dimensional (3D) space comprising the virtual objects further comprises a set of voxels, wherein individual voxels of the set of voxels correspond to individual virtual 3D volumes;
• determine, by the one or more hardware processors, a subset of voxels from the set of voxels such that the subset of voxels encompasses a 3D volume that comprises at least a part of a first external surface of a first virtual object of the virtual objects;
• determine, by the one or more hardware processors, a manipulation granularity, wherein the manipulation granularity correlates an input magnitude of user input received from a user to an output magnitude of one or more manipulations of the first virtual object;
• adjust, by the one or more hardware processors, the manipulation granularity such that a reduction in magnitude of proximity information of the first virtual object corresponds to an increase in the manipulation granularity;
• and
• effectuate, by the one or more hardware processors, presentation of a user interface to the user through a client computing platform, wherein the user interface depicts a manipulation of the first virtual object within the virtual 3D space.
