  • VR comfort zones used to inform an In-VR GUI editor
    Patent number: 10712900
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium having program instructions configured to cause a computing device to execute an interface editor that performs the following operations: rendering through a head-mounted display (HMD) a view of a three-dimensional virtual space, the interface editor being configured to enable placement of user interface elements in the virtual space to define a virtual reality user interface for an interactive application; wherein the interface editor is configured to define within the virtual space a central zone and a lateral zone for placement of the user interface elements; receiving, by the interface editor, input indicating an attempt to move a given user interface element from the central zone to the lateral zone; responsive to receiving the input, generating, by the interface editor, a counteractive response that opposes the attempt to move the given user interface element from the central zone to the lateral zone.
