Sound is essential for truly immersive VR. For this reason, sound is more than just an immersive tool – how (and where) objects around you sound has an enormous effect on your understanding of where they are, especially when you’re not looking at them. For example, there are no whirring or mechanical noises when the arm HUD appears.

Let me explain this better with an example: if you grab a bottle in real life, your fingers can’t trespass the bottle, because the material of the bottle exerts a force towards your fingers which prevents them to enter. This is good to give some tactile information, making you feel the texture of objects.

For example, pointing at oneself when referring to another person feels foreign. In the context of motion controls, good affordance is critical, since it is necessary that users interact with objects in the expected manner.

To take the most enduring example, the Minority Report interface fails by forcing users to (1) wave their hands and arms around (2) at shoulder level (3) for extended periods of time.
