Event routing in 3D graphical environments

A device comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprises program instructions that, when executed on the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
• determining a direction of intent in a three dimensional (3D) graphical environment, the direction of intent associated with a user event;
• determining one or more intersections of the direction of intent with one or more virtual objects in the 3D graphical environment, wherein determining the one or more intersections comprises:
• identifying one or more entering intersections with one or more objects of a first type;
• and
• identifying one or more exiting intersections with one or more objects of a second type;
• and
• generating an interaction associating the event with a virtual object of the one or more virtual objects, wherein the virtual object is selected based on a rule that accounts for proximity and virtual object type, wherein the virtual object is selected based on selecting the virtual object based on identifying a nearest intersection of the one or more entering intersections with the one or more objects of the first type and the one or more exiting intersections with the one or more objects of the second type.
