threejs-interaction

Object selection in Three.js is handled by using a Raycaster to detect intersections with 3D objects based on pointer coordinates. This skill provides a reusable pattern that wires raycasting with event listeners to consistently capture mouse, touch, and pointer interactions.

The best way to set up camera controls for an interactive 3D scene is using OrbitControls for navigation. This skill also supports alternative schemes like FlyControls, FirstPersonControls, PointerLock, Trackball, and MapControls to fit different experience requirements.

Three.js raycasting works across desktop and mobile touch devices by integrating unified pointer events. This skill provides clear integration patterns to ensure consistent click detection and object interaction across both mouse and touch inputs.

To make 3D scenes respond instantly to user clicks and navigation, combine OrbitControls for smooth camera movement with Raycaster for click detection. This skill wires together these components into a clean, reusable interaction module.

You do not strictly need OrbitControls to implement object interaction, as raycasting can function independently. However, this skill requires OrbitControls and a Raycaster to provide a complete, reusable module that combines scene navigation with click detection.
