Problem & context

The challenge

VR interfaces borrowed too heavily from 2D flat paradigms — overlaid menus broke immersion and made new users feel lost in 3D space without clear spatial context.

Role & responsibilities

What I owned

Defined the full spatial interaction language. Designed world-embedded UI elements, controller interaction patterns, and the onboarding flow for new VR users.

Research & insights

What I found

Tested 3 existing VR games with 6 users

Every user instinctively reached for physical space around them before resorting to controller menus — confirming that diegetic UI (embedded in the world) was the right direction

Outcome & impact

The solution

Designed a fully diegetic UI system: interaction indicators embedded in the physical game world, spatial audio cues for feedback, and controller gestures that matched natural human motion — eliminating flat menu overlays entirely.
