Abstract:
Methods and apparatus using gestures to share private windows in shared virtual environments are disclosed herein. An example method includes detecting a gesture of a user in a virtual environment associated with a private window in the virtual environment, the private window associated with the user, determining whether the gesture represents a signal to share the private window with another, and, when the gesture represents a signal to share the private window, changing the status of the private window to a shared window.
