Abstract
Systems and methods related to user interfaces for object exploration and manipulation within virtual reality environments may include a plurality of user interfaces that are presented responsive to various user inputs or interactions. For example, a first user interface may comprise a hover card that is presented responsive to a hover indication over an object, a second user interface may comprise a detail card that is presented responsive to a selection input associated with an object, and a third user interface may comprise a detail page having a plurality of detail panels that are presented responsive to a selection of a full details option associated with an object. Further, individual detail cards and detail panels may be graspable, movable, scrollable, and otherwise manipulatable by a user to facilitate object exploration.
