Abstract

Systems and methods for enabling communications and feedback with users of virtual reality user interfaces are described. The virtual reality user interface may include a background model, a plurality of cells and subcells, and an interaction area. The interaction area may be positioned at a virtual location of the user, and the interaction area may include a border around its periphery. Responsive to various user inputs or actions, or device or system states or conditions, visual characteristics of the interaction area and border may be selected and rendered to provide communications and feedback to a user. In addition, the interaction area and border may receive voice inputs provided by users. Accordingly, the interaction area and border may provide communications and feedback with users of virtual reality user interfaces.
