Claim One:
1. A method for controlling objects, wherein a real space is linked to a multi-dimensional representational space by an alterable transformation rule, wherein representations in the representational space are associated with the objects to be controlled by an alterable mapping, and wherein, for controlling the objects arranged in the real space, the following steps are carried out: detecting a position and orientation of a pointer in the real space; determining a position and orientation of a pointer representation associated with the pointer in the representational space by the position and orientation of the pointer in the real space and by the transformation rule between real space and representational space; determining the representations in the representational space which are intersected by the pointer representation; selecting a representation which is intersected by the pointer representation, and controlling the object in the real space which is associated with the pointer representation in the representational space; wherein a setting representation is arranged in the representational space, wherein one or multiple setting values of one or multiple objects are associated with the setting representation, and wherein the following steps are carried out to set the one or multiple objects to the one or multiple setting values: detecting the position and orientation of the pointer in the real space; determining the position and orientation of the pointer representation associated with the pointer in the representational space by the position and orientation of the pointer in the real space and the transformation rule between real space and representational space; and selecting the setting representation and transmitting the one or multiple setting values to the one or multiple objects if the setting representation is intersected by the pointer representation.
