Abstract:
A virtual-reality that includes multiple different features therein, those features arranged in a combined wall. The user can select from the multiple features by looking at the features for a specified amount of time for example 3 seconds. One embodiment uses a wall which combines together a number of feeds from a number of social networks. Another embodiment uses a wall that is cylindrical or spherical around the user, and a system that detects which post or item the user is looking at. When the user looks at a poster item for more than the specified amount of time, additional information about that poster item pops up. For example the user can look it up icon representing their friend, and get information about their friend including the ability to message the friend, posts that the friend has made, and other information about the friend. There can also be navigation pains in places in the virtual-reality cylinder or sphere which enables navigating using a different kind of menu.
