Guidelines
This tool offers a curated set of Virtual Reality User Interface design guidelines to help creators build intuitive, comfortable, and immersive virtual experiences
An interactive filtering system allows you to explore the guidelines relevant to your project by selecting a specific context, goals, features, design aspects, and challenges. You can also generate checklists, track your progress as you implement best practices, and create reports that summarize how much of the guidelines you have applied. Together, these tools support both learning and practical decision-making throughout the Virtual Reality User Interface design process.
Background
Traditional interface design methods rely heavily on 2D desktop and mobile paradigms, which do not translate effectively into 3D environments. VR lacks fixed screen boundaries, introduces constant shifts in user orientation, and requires interaction across six degrees of freedom, all of which increase complexity and cognitive load. Because conventional guidelines cannot address these unique spatial and perceptual challenges, VR designers need frameworks created specifically for immersive environments. This tool consolidates research-based principles that help bridge this gap and support more thoughtful, user-centered VR interface design.
