Abstract (EN): In Virtual Reality (VR), the action of selecting virtual objects outside arms-reach still poses significant challenges. In this work, after classifying, with a new taxonomy, and analyzing existing solutions, we propose a novel technique to perform out-of-reach selections in VR. It uses natural pointing gestures, a modifiable cone as selection volume, and an iterative progressive refinement strategy. This can be considered a VR implementation of a discrete zoom approach, although we modify users' position instead of the field-of-view. When the cone intersects several objects, users can either activate the refinement process, or trigger a multiple object selection. We compared our technique against two techniques from literature. Our results show that, although not being the fastest, it is a versatile approach due to the lack of errors and uniform completion times. © 2017 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).
