Abstract
Interactive zones are created in a virtual environment by a head mounted display device executing a virtual reality application. The interactive zones correspond to physical objects that are external to the user such as keyboards, mice, notepads, cups, and other objects that the user may desire to interact with. Each interactive zone includes real time video of the corresponding object so that the user can easily interact with the object, and view their interaction with the object, while still participating in the virtual reality application. If the user moves one of the physical objects, the corresponding interactive zone is also moved in the virtual environment.
