Abstract
A system includes one or more hardware processors, a head mounted display (HMD) configured to display a virtual environment to a user wearing the HMD, an input device configured to allow the user to interact with virtual objects presented in the virtual environment, and a virtual mini-board module executable by the one or more hardware processors. The virtual mini-board module is configured to perform operations including providing a virtual mini-board to the user within the virtual environment, the virtual mini-board including a representation of a region of the virtual environment, detecting a scroll operation performed by the user, modifying the region of the virtual environment based on the scroll operation, and updating one or more of (1) the virtual environment and (2) the representation of the region of the virtual environment on the virtual mini-board, based on the modifying.
