Overview
Select Object from Interaction has a very specific use case. If there is an object in the scene that contains several of the same types of thing, but you want to specifically target the item that the learner interacted with, this is the resource you need.
Specific example: in a food safety scenario there was a step where the learner needed to pull a test strip from a dispenser to test the concentration of their sanitizer. We couldn’t be sure that they would use the first test strip that they chose and if they threw a few on the floor before testing, we did not want them to all change color when the one their hand was dipped in the solution. In this case, we used the “Select Object from Interaction” resource to indicate that the one that was in their hand should be the one that reacts to the next step.

In this example, there is a Behaviour Model for the glassware, so it will be added with the “Select Object from Interaction” as the target:
Next, the learner will Grasp the glassware:
Then the learner will rinse the glassware they are holding and move on to do the same actions with the next.
