Accessing a virtual reality environment

A computing device comprises:

• an interface;
• a local memory;
• and
• a processing module operably coupled to the interface and the local memory, wherein the local memory stores operational instructions that, when executed by the processing module, causes the computing device to:
• generate a virtual reality environment utilizing a group of object representations in accordance with interaction information for at least some of the object representations of the group of object representations, wherein at least some of the object representations are associated with corresponding three dimensional (3-D) physical objects, wherein the interaction information includes 3-D models and position information for the at least some of the object representations of the group of object representations, wherein a first set of object representations of the group of object representations is associated with a first piece of information regarding a topic, wherein a second set of obj ect representations of the group of object representations is associated with a second piece of information regarding the topic, wherein the processing module function to generate the virtual reality environment by:
• rendering a representation of the first set of object representations and the second set of object representations to produce first portrayal 3-D video frames of the first piece of information for the virtual reality environment, wherein the first portrayal 3-D video frames include a second cue associated with the second set of object representations;
• determining whether the second piece of information has been selected based on the second cue;
• and
• when the second piece of information has been selected:
• rendering another representation of the second set of object representations and the first set of object representations to produce second portrayal 3-D video frames of the second piece of information for the virtual reality environment,
• wherein the second portrayal 3-D video frames include a first cue associated with the first set of object representations.

A non-transitory computer readable memory comprises:

• a first memory element that stores operational instructions that, when executed by a processing module, causes the processing module to:
• generate a virtual reality environment utilizing a group of object representations in accordance with interaction information for at least some of the object representations of the group of object representations, wherein at least some of the object representations are associated with corresponding three dimensional (3-D) physical objects, wherein the interaction information includes 3-D models and position information for the at least some of the object representations of the group of object representations, wherein a first set of object representations of the group of object representations is associated with a first piece of information regarding a topic, wherein a second set of obj ect representations of the group of object representations is associated with a second piece of information regarding the topic, wherein the processing module functions to generate the virtual reality environment by:
• rendering a representation of the first set of object representations and the second set of object representations to produce first portrayal 3-D video frames of the first piece of information for the virtual reality environment, wherein the first portrayal 3-D video frames include a second cue associated with the second set of object representations;
• and
• determining whether the second piece of information has been selected based on the second cue;
• and
• a second memory element that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the processing module, causes the processing module to further generate the virtual reality environment by:
• when the second piece of information has been selected:
• rendering another representation of the second set of object representations and the first set of object representations to produce second portrayal 3-D video frames of the second piece of information for the virtual reality environment,
• wherein the second portrayal 3-D video frames include a first cue associated with the first set of object representations.
