Detect clicked object in THREE.js

Question

I have a THREE.js scene where a lot of elements appear, and I need to detect what object the user is clicking on.

What I have done so far is the following. The camer

Check out this one:

var camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(45, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 1, 5000);
var object; //your object

document.addEventListener('mousedown', onMouseDown, false);

function onMouseDown(e) {
    var vectorMouse = new THREE.Vector3( //vector from camera to mouse
        -(window.innerWidth/2-e.clientX)*2/window.innerWidth,
        (window.innerHeight/2-e.clientY)*2/window.innerHeight,
        -1/Math.tan(22.5*Math.PI/180)); //22.5 is half of camera frustum angle 45 degree
    vectorMouse.applyQuaternion(camera.quaternion);
    vectorMouse.normalize();        

    var vectorObject = new THREE.Vector3(); //vector from camera to object
    vectorObject.set(object.x - camera.position.x,
                     object.y - camera.position.y,
                     object.z - camera.position.z);
    vectorObject.normalize();
    if (vectorMouse.angleTo(vectorObject)*180/Math.PI < 1) {
        //mouse's position is near object's position

    }
}
