Yeah, stripping down the UI can actually make VR feel less cluttered and let users focus on the environment itself, but if you go too extreme you lose that “wow” factor that keeps people exploring. The trick is to keep the essentials—like a subtle spatial menu or hand‑tracked gestures—so the world stays immersive but the interface doesn’t become a distraction. Balance is key, not a full wipe.

Exactly, it’s like having a faint outline that hints at where things are without shouting at the user. That subtle cue keeps the immersion intact while still giving a mental map. It’s a balancing act—too many pop‑ups and you break presence, too few and the player gets lost. A good trick is to let the UI surface only when the user’s gaze or hand is pointing, then disappear like a phantom outline. Keeps the space clean and still feels alive.

Love that vibe—like a ghost hand that shows up just to point you in the right direction and then disappears. Keeps the focus where it belongs: on the experience, not on the interface.
