1. A method for selecting content items, the method comprising:
- determining, by a selection device held by a user, an object in a space according to at least one of a position, an orientation or a movement of the selection device in a real world environment;
determining, by the selection device, a virtual tag included in a set of virtual tags as a selected virtual tag, the selected virtual tag being associated with the determined object;
selecting, by the selection device, a content item that corresponds to the selected virtual tag, the content item being multimedia data stored in an electronic storage; and
commanding, by the selection device, an electronic device in the real world environment to execute the content item.

16. A system for selecting content items, the system comprising:
-
a content storage that stores content items, each of the content items being multimedia data and the content storage being an electronic storage; a tag storage that stores a set of virtual tags and information associating each virtual tag of the set of virtual tags with a respective content item stored in the content storage and with a respective object in a space; and a selection device that, when held by a user, identifies an object in the space, the space being a real world environment or a virtual environment, the identification of the object according to at least one of a position, an orientation and a movement of the selection device; determines a virtual tag included in the set of virtual tags as a selected virtual tag, the selected virtual tag being associated with the determined object; selects a content item that corresponds to the selected virtual tag, the content item being stored in the content storage; and commands an electronic device in the real world environment to execute the content item. - View Dependent Claims (17)
