Aperture Selection

Overview

Aperture selection is a modified version of the flashlight. The core modification is instead of a cone originating from the controller it originates from the users camera/view-point. The user can then use one of their hands to control the spread/distance of the flashlight. To select from far away the user would point further away and the cone would grow in size, conversely it will get smaller if you point closer to yourself. for further disambiguation the user can control the rotation of two plates at the end of the cone to allow precise selection between objects inside of the cone.
