As mainstream VR/AR input continues to evolve – from the early days of gaze-only input to wand-style controllers and fully articulated hand tracking – so too are the virtual user interfaces we interact with. In a sense, they are. What kinds of 3D UIs would you like to see, touch, and create with these tools?
