However, for use cases in Extended Reality (XR) environments, the interaction paradigm shifts from a flat screen to a spatial experience. Here, LLMs can, e.g., be represented as XR agents, a personified version of the LLM. While 3D environments offer high potential for more immersive and intuitive interactions, they also introduce significant challenges regarding user interface design. Simply porting a 2D chat window into a 3D space often feels clunky or breaks the sense of presence, yet purely voice-based interaction may lack the precision or privacy that text provides. This is especially true for tutoring scenarios where the agents need to give precise and memorable instructions. There is currently a lack of systematic research on which interface modalities best support the strengths of LLMs while maintaining the immersion of an XR environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently, the primary way users interact with Large Language Models (LLMs) is through two-dimensional chat interfaces.
