VR is increasingly becoming an interaction platform that allows users to display and manipulate various digital content such as text, computer graphic, 3D model, amination, and sound in a 3D space. In this work, we seek an enjoyable interface to manage a large set of digital content. We propose ViBlock (Virtual Interactive Block) (Figure 1), a novel block interface in VR that creates enjoyable experiences through natural and playful interactions with blockshaped content. This is based on the well-known building block metaphor and tangible user interfaces [Kitamura et al. 2001, Hosoi et al. 2014], and it allows users to grasp block-shaped content arranged in a 3D space and customize their representations by composing multiple blocks.
