Abstract
Methods, systems, and media for object grouping and manipulation in immersive environments are provided. The method comprises: displaying a plurality of video objects in an immersive environment; detecting, via a first input, that a first video object has been virtually positioned over a second video object; in response to detecting that the first video object has been virtually positioned over the second video object, generating a group video object that includes the first video object and the second video object, wherein the group video object includes a handle interface element for interacting with the group video object and a selectable indicator that represents the first video object and the second video object; displaying the group video object along with the handle interface element and the selectable indicator with one or more remaining video objects in the immersive environment, wherein the group video object replaces the first video object and the second video object within the immersive environment; and, in response to detecting a selection of the selectable indicator, displaying a user interface for interacting with the group video object.
