    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting a user interaction by identifying a touch gesture on a touch interface on a virtual reality headset. The touch gestures are received on a front surface that is on the opposite side of the headset's inner display screen so that correspondence between the touch location and displayed content is intuitive to the user. The techniques of the invention display a cursor and enable the user to move the cursor by one type of input and make selections with the cursor using a second type of input. In this way, the user is able to intuitively control a displayed cursor by moving a finger around (e.g., dragging) on the opposite side of the display in the cursor's approximate location. The user then uses another type of touch input to make a selection at the cursor's current location.
