A virtual reality (VR) device presents a virtual environment and detects an input that relates to a contact by a user. The VR device identifies attributes of the input, and the attributes include, for example, a portion of the VR device associated with the contact, a duration of the contact, and a direction of motion of the contact. The VR device modifies the presented virtual environment based on the input attributes, such as presenting a default view of the virtual environment when a first type of input is detected; moving a virtual horizon when a second type of input is detected; enlarging a depicted virtual object when a third type of input is detected; presenting a menu of options when a fourth type of input is detected; and capturing and presenting an image or video of the user's actual surroundings when a fifth type of input is detected. |

1. A method comprising:
presenting, by a processor associated with a virtual reality (VR) device worn by a user, a virtual environment; detecting, by the processor, an input by the user, wherein the input relates to a contact by the user with the VR device; identifying, by the processor, attributes of the input, wherein the attributes include a duration of the contact and at least one of a location on the VR device associated with the contact or a direction of motion associated with the contact; determining, by the processor and based on the attributes of the input, that the duration of the contact exceeds a threshold length of time; and modifying, by the processor, the presented virtual environment based on the identified attributes of the input, including:
capturing at least one of an image or a video of physical surroundings of the user, anddisplaying, via the VR device, the image or the video while the user is contacting the VR device. |
