Claim 0:
1. A method of generating on-screen graphics in video game environments, the method comprising:
determining, using control circuitry, a first set of coordinates of a three-dimensional space of a video game environment of an object;
determining, using control circuitry, 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;
detecting, using the control circuitry, 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;
monitoring, using the control circuitry, a path and a velocity associated with the interaction of the first user;
determining, using the control circuitry, a trajectory of an on-screen graphic based on the path and the velocity associated with the interaction of the first user;
determining, using the control circuitry, a presentation format of the on-screen graphic based on the interaction of the first user; and
generating, using the control circuitry, the on-screen graphic in the presentation format, wherein the on-screen graphic comprises a pointer along the trajectory.
