1. A system comprising:

  • a display system of a wearable device configured to present a three-dimensional (3D) view to a user and permit a user interaction with objects in a field of regard (FOR) of a user, the FOR comprising a portion of the environment around the user that is capable of being perceived by the user via the display system;

    a sensor configured to acquire data associated with a pose of the user;

    a hardware processor in communication with the sensor and the display system, the hardware processor programmed to;

    initiate a cone cast, wherein the cone cast comprises a cast of a virtual cone with a dynamically-adjustable aperture;

    identify one or more contextual features in the environment;

    dynamically resize the aperture of the virtual cone based at least in part on the one or more contextual features;

    translate the virtual cone based on the data associated with the pose of the user;

    scan for a collision between the virtual cone and one or more objects in the environment;

    identify, in response to the collision, a collided object; and

    perform a user interaction associated with the collided object.
