Method and apparatus for adding interactive objects to a virtual reality environment

A method comprising:

• adding an interactive object to an interactive object queue in response to a user indication to add the interactive object to the interactive object queue, wherein the interactive object comprises a virtual object;
• providing a first control area, corresponding to the interactive object, in response to the interactive object being added to the interactive object queue;
• modifying the first control area to be continuously accessible to the user in response to a movement of the user away from the interactive object, wherein at least one of a size or a shape of the first control area is modified relative to the user;
• determining whether the user is at least partially within the first control area while the interactive object is outside a field of vision of the user;
• and
• providing at least one feedback to the user in response to determining that the user is at least partially within the first control area.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions stored thereon for performing at least the following:

• adding an interactive object to an interactive object queue in response to a user indication to add the interactive object to the interactive object queue, wherein the interactive object comprises a virtual object;
• providing a first control area, corresponding to the interactive object, in response to the interactive object being added to the interactive object queue;
• modifying the first control area to be continuously accessible to the user in response to a movement of the user away from the interactive object, wherein at least one of a size or a shape of the first control area is modified relative to the user;
• determining whether the user is at least partially within the first control area while the interactive object is outside a field of vision of the user;
• and
• providing at least one feedback to the user in response to determining that the user is at least partially within the first control area.
