Abstract
A method and apparatus for selecting objects in a virtual world through the use of inner and outer selection ranges. Inner selection ranges define the distance from an object an avatar must be to trigger a selection event to initiate interaction with the object. Outer selection ranges define the distance from an object an avatar may travel before triggering a de-selection event to the object which terminates interaction with the object. The method and apparatus is defined for implementation in virtual objects or virtual world frameworks.
