Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes displaying a virtual keyboard at a first position within a virtual scene that is visible to a user through a display, detecting that the user touches a first point on a trackpad of a controller that is associated with the display, re-positioning, in response to the detection, the virtual keyboard from the first position to a second position, where the second position is determined based on the first point on the trackpad, and displaying, in response to the detection, a pointing indicator, where the pointing indicator is displayed on top of the virtual keyboard, and where the pointing indicator represents that an area of the virtual keyboard indicated by the pointing indicator is being pointed by the user.
