1. A system comprising:

  • one or more hardware processors;

    a head mounted display (HMD) configured to display a virtual environment and a floating virtual card tray within the virtual environment to a user wearing the HMD;

    a first hand-tracking input device configured to track hand motion of a first hand of the user; and

    an editor engine, executable by the one or more hardware processors, configured to perform operations for editing the virtual environment, the operations comprising;

    identifying a set of virtual assets, each virtual asset including data associated with a 3D virtual object that is placeable at locations in a region within the virtual environment;

    creating the floating virtual card tray to be displayed within the virtual environment, the floating virtual card tray appearing between the region and the user, being within arm'"'"'s reach of the user, and appearing at a predefined float distance apart from a real-world surface;

    creating one or more virtual cards within the floating virtual card tray, each virtual card of the one or more virtual cards associated with a virtual asset of the set of virtual assets, the one or more virtual cards including a first virtual card, the first virtual card configured with a first interaction mechanic, the first interaction mechanic including a triggering gesture and an associated gesture response, the triggering gesture allowing the user to interact with the first virtual card within the virtual environment by performing the triggering gesture on the first virtual card, the triggering gesture including depressing the first virtual card by the float distance;

    detecting performance of the triggering gesture by the user on the first virtual card using the first hand-tracking input device; and

    based on detecting performance of the triggering gesture, performing the gesture response associated with the first interaction mechanic, the gesture response facilitating the editing of the virtual environment.
