Patent ID: 8854357

Claim:
One or more hardware storage devices having embodied thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor in a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations that facilitate presentation of selectors in three-dimensional graphical environments, the operations comprising: referencing a depth position associated with each overlay element having a horizontal and a vertical position on a display screen that is the same as a current position of a selector on the display screen, wherein each depth position indicates a distance from the display screen at which the corresponding overlay element is intended to appear relative to the display screen, wherein each overlay element comprises a user interface element that overlays at least background content on the display screen; identifying a largest depth position having a largest depth relative to the display screen, wherein the largest depth position is identified from among the depth positions associated with each overlay element having the horizontal and the vertical position on the display screen that is the same as the current position of the selector on the display screen; and designating a selector depth position that corresponds with the largest depth position, the selector depth position indicating a distance from the display screen at which the selector is intended to appear relative to the display screen.
