A virtual user interface for a user-controlled device is provided that allows a person who is associated with the user-controlled device to make user selections from a plurality of selection options to interact with a simulated environment. The virtual user interface is a virtual three-dimensional user interface object having the plurality of selection options on its outer surface. The plurality of selection options is distributed over different portions of the outer surface of the virtual three-dimensional user interface object, and the plurality of selection options are grouped into a plurality of subsets of selection options. The virtual three-dimensional user interface object is rotatable by user interaction of the person with the virtual three-dimensional user interface object to a predefined position in space that causes one of the subsets of selection options to be in focus, thereby enabling the selection options of the subset in focus to be enabled for user selection. The remaining subsets of selection options are not in focus and thus are not enabled for user selection.

Methods are provided for allowing a plurality of players to wager on one of a plurality of real world events being displayed on virtual video displays that are viewable by Augmented Reality (AR) devices, and monitor progress of the real world events and status of wagers or votes on the real world events using the AR devices. Each of the real world events are represented by a respective virtual video feed that becomes displayed on the virtual video displays. The AR devices are pointed at the virtual video displays to identify the real world event.
