1. A computer system comprising:

  • one or more processor(s); and

    one or more computer-readable hardware storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processor(s) to cause the computer system to;

    detect a selection of a virtual object being rendered in a head mounted display (HMD), wherein a virtual selection ray, which is provided to select the virtual object and which is also rendered in the HMD, is used to perform the selection of the virtual object;

    identify an optimal viewing position of the virtual object, the optimal viewing position being dynamically calculated based on one or more characteristic(s) of the virtual object;

    subsequent to the virtual selection ray being visualized as being cast towards the virtual object and subsequent to the optimal viewing position being identified, cause the virtual selection ray to be automatically directed to a new location that is different from a location where the virtual selection ray landed after being cast, the new location corresponding to the optimal viewing position; and

    in response to detecting a predetermined triggering event, render a scene in the HMD, the scene being arranged to display the virtual object from the new location of the virtual selection ray so as to display the virtual object from the optimal viewing position.
