1. A system comprising:
- a three dimensional display device configured to project computer generated controls and to project a target image in a three dimensional target volume, wherein the computer generated controls comprise two or more loops that substantially surround the target image, wherein each of the two or more loops corresponds with a dimensional plane of the three dimensional target volume;
an actuator configured to be worn by an operator; and
one or more sensors configured to sense a movement of the actuator, wherein the computer generated controls are configured to be manipulated corresponding with the movement of the actuator within the three dimensional target volume, and wherein a manipulation of one of the two or more loops alters a size of the target image in the corresponding dimensional plane of the three dimensional target volume.
