A mixed reality system comprising:

• a head-mounted display (HMD) device;
• a data processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the data processor, cause the mixed reality system to:
• cause the HMD device to render a mixed reality interface including a first group of graphical tiles projected in chronological time order to a user wearing the HMD device,
• wherein each group is one of multiple groups that are each constrained by a time period, and
• wherein the mixed reality system is configured to project, via the HMD device, the multiple groups one group at a time;
• detect a motion-based gesture based on a body movement of the user relative to the mixed reality interface while projecting the first group of graphical tiles,
• wherein the motion-based gesture includes directional movement of:
• a handheld device operable as a wand in relation to the mixed-reality interface,
• a head of a user wearing the HMD device,
• eye movement detected by the HMD device, or
• a wearable device worn by a user of the HMD device, and
• wherein the motion-based gesture includes an indication to change display of the first group of graphical tiles to a second group of graphical tiles;
• and
• in response to the gesture, cause the mixed reality interface to change from the first group to the second group of graphical tiles.

A method performed by a virtual reality system, the method comprising:

• causing display of multiple graphical tiles presented in a particular order on a virtual reality interface of a virtual reality system,
• wherein groups of the multiple graphical tiles are individually movable among the multiple graphical tiles to change the current order of the multiple graphical tiles;
• detecting a motion-based gesture relative to the virtual reality interface while displaying the multiple graphical tiles,
• wherein the motion-based gesture includes an indication to move a particular graphical tile among the multiple graphical tiles;
• and
• in response to the motion-based gesture:
• automatically moving another graphical tile of the multiple graphical tiles to accommodate a new location of the particular graphical tile;
• and
• causing display, via the virtual reality interface, of the multiple graphical tiles arranged in a new order different from the particular order,
• wherein the new order includes the particular graphical tile in the new location among the multiple graphical tiles.
