Displaying proximate keys in a virtual reality environment

Abstract:

A method, computer program product, and system are disclosed for generating a visual representation of at least one of a plurality of input keys. The embodiments receive a first signal form one or more proximity sensors indicating that a user is proximate to a first plurality of input keys on an I/O device. The embodiments receive a second signal from one or more activation sensors indicating the user has activated a second plurality of input keys on the I/O device. The embodiments compare the first plurality of input keys to the second plurality of input keys to identify a subset of the first plurality of input keys that the user is proximate to but has not activated. The embodiments generate a visual representation of the subset of the first plurality of input keys for display.
