Abstract: The invention relates to a graphical user interface for controlling a virtual reality (VR) graphics system by means of interactions with a function selection that provides at least two functions, whereby the VR graphics system has a projection device for visualizing a virtual three-dimensional scene, and interactions with the VR graphics system ensue by using at least one interaction unit. Said interaction unit, while interacting with a sensor system for detecting a respective physical-spatial position and/or orientation of the interaction unit, serves to generate and transfer position data inside and/or to the VR graphics system. The inventive graphical user interface comprises, in particular, an interaction element, which is functionally and visually formed from at least two partial elements that each provide a mentioned function selection.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for controlling a virtual reality (VR) graphic system using interactive techniques. Said VR graphic system comprises a projection device for visualising virtual three-dimensional scenes and the interaction with the VR graphic system takes place using at least one interactive device, which detects the respective position and/or orientation of the interactive device on a physical spatial trajectory, generates corresponding positional data and transmits said data to a position recorder of the VR graphic system.
