Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes determining, by a client computing device, that a user has selected text displayed on a display of the client computing device. The method further includes presenting, in response to the determination, a UI element on the display of the client computing device. The UI element includes a plurality of selectable portions, each associated with a distinct speaking action for a 3D avatar to perform with respect to the selected text. In response to the user's selection, the method includes presenting on the display of the client computing device an animation of the 3D avatar performing a speaking action corresponding to the selected portion; and providing, by the client computing device, speech audio synchronized with the speaking action of the animated 3D avatar.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer readable media for control of user interface windows in a virtual reality environment. The method includes displaying a window in a viewable area of a virtual reality environment on a display of a head mountable device (HMD), the viewable area determined based on orientation of the HMD. The method further includes receiving a request to lock a position of the window in the viewable area and locking the position of the window in the viewable area in response to the lock request. The position of the window is fixed in the viewable area relative to the orientation of the HMD, when locked, regardless of the orientation of the HMD.
