Claim 11:
12. A system of generating on-screen graphics in video game environments, the system comprising:
storage circuitry configured to store graphical elements for rendering a video game environment; and
control circuitry configured to:
determine a first set of coordinates of a three-dimensional space of a video game environment of an object;
determine a second set of coordinates of the three-dimensional space of the video game environment of a first avatar, wherein the first avatar corresponds to a first user;
detect an interaction of the first user within the video game environment, wherein the interaction corresponds to a portion of the second set of coordinates of the three-dimensional space overlapping with a portion of the first set of coordinates of the three-dimensional space;
monitor a path and a velocity associated with the interaction of the first user;
determine a trajectory of an on-screen graphic based on the path and/or the velocity associated with the interaction of the first user;
determine a presentation format of the on-screen graphic based on the interaction of the first user; and
generate the on-screen graphic in the presentation format, wherein the on-screen graphic comprises a pointer along the trajectory.
