Spatial Display

While Apple's Liquid Glass UI system is a hot topic right now, I want to showcase and discuss the glass display effects I have developed in the past and their pros and cons.


Overlay displays are standard practice in spatial UI and screen-based UI.

These effects can significantly impact both readability and aesthetics.

Over the past three years, I’ve worked as a UI/UX Designer at Dreamscape Learn, a virtual reality classroom platform used in colleges nationwide.

Guided by clear learning objectives, our team designed and delivered interactive VR learning experiences that combined storytelling with immersive education.

I'd like to compare three different effects applied to UI backgrounds for various use cases. Each serves specific interaction scenarios. Where relevant, I'll dive into how each design choice impacts clarity, visual balance, and the user's ability to stay focused.

I have created those 2 boxes in AR to test the visibility and the interactiveness - the opacity sometimes is helpful, sometimes is confusing in the environment.
