Abstract
In one embodiment, a client system receives a request to display a user interface element in a virtual reality environment. The client system determines whether the requested user interface element is a system user interface element generated by an operating system running on the client system or a third-party user interface element that is generated by a third-party application or based on third-party content. The client system selectively displays the user interface element in a first dedicated plane or a second dedicated plane of the virtual reality environment. The requested user interface element is displayed in the first dedicated plane of the virtual reality environment upon determining that the requested user interface element is a system user interface element. The requested user interface element is displayed in the second dedicated plane of the virtual reality environment upon determining that the requested user interface element is a third-party user interface element.
