7. A method, comprising:
displaying, by a display, a virtual object in a virtual reality environment or an augmented reality environment, wherein the display is configured to be positioned in front of a user's eyes;
defining, by a processor, a first domain in a first region of space in a real world;
defining, by the processor, a second domain in a second region of space in the real world;
defining, by the processor, a bridge that occupies a third region of space that includes a portion of the first domain and a portion of the second domain;
identifying, by the processor, a presence of a stimulus in the first domain or the second domain;
in response to the stimulus extending from the first domain, through the bridge, and terminating in the second domain, executing, by the processor, a first instruction;
in response to the stimulus extending from the second domain, through the bridge, and terminating in the first domain, executing, by the processor, a second instruction;
in response to the stimulus being located [ entirely ] in the first domain, executing, by the processor, a third instruction;
in response to the stimulus being located [ entirely ] in the second domain, executing, by the processor, a fourth instruction; and
displaying [ outputting] , by the display, outputting at least the portion of the first domain or another portion of the first domain.
