first off : floating gizmos attached to your hands? grabbing with laser pointers? why not make things much more physical?Permalink Look on archive.org

you don't need grid alignment, move-along-x-axis. just grab and move. and maybe optional gravity instead of floor snapping.Permalink Look on archive.org

mainly, though: why is it at that scale? why isn't it a dinky little tabletop scene, with a "warp here and look about" tool?Permalink Look on archive.org

the sensors are accurate enough and your arms won't get so tired. you can have the overview, eye up alignments etc much easier.Permalink Look on archive.org

and you can make the tools exist in the space, make them discoverable. a scale wand, a grab wand, a texture wand, a spawn wand.Look on archive.org
