1. A method comprising:
- detecting an interaction with a first object in a virtual reality (VR) environment;
producing first contextual information based on user interaction with the first object within the VR environment, the interaction includes a physical movement being represented by movement data, the movement data being used to determine a direction in which the user'"'"'s entire body moves toward the first object, the first contextual information being produced based on the determined direction;
determining a second object to display in the VR environment based on the first contextual information; and
presenting the second object in the VR environment.

Abstract
In at least one general aspect, a method can include detecting an interaction with a first object in a virtual reality (VR) environment, producing first contextual information based on user interaction with the first object, determining a second object to display in the VR environment based on the first contextual information, and presenting the second object in the VR environment. The interaction of the user may include at least one of a movement, a speech, or a physiological trait of the user.

16. A system, comprising:
a computing device configured to generate a virtual environment, the computing device including; a memory storing executable instructions; and a processor configured to execute the instructions, to cause the computing device to; detecting an interaction with a first object in a virtual reality (VR) environment; obtaining first contextual information based on user interaction with the first object, the interaction includes a physical movement being represented by movement data, the movement data being used to determine a direction and duration in which the user moves toward the first object, the first contextual information being produced based on the determined direction toward the first object and based on a speed the user moves towards the first object; determining a second object to display in the VR environment based on the first contextual information; and presenting the second object in the VR environment.

20. A method comprising:
-
detecting an interaction with a first object in a virtual reality (VR) environment; producing first contextual information based on user interaction with the first object within the VR environment, the interaction includes a physical movement being represented by movement data, the movement data being used to determine a direction and duration in which the user walks toward the first object, the first contextual information being produced based on the determined direction; determining a second object to display in the VR environment based on the first contextual information; and presenting the second object in the VR environment.
