1. A method, comprising:
identifying, on an information handling device, a fixed user interface that is fixed at a location in relation to the world once an origin position is established, wherein the origin position is established responsive to identifying a user is looking at a display of the information handling device;
presenting, on the display of the information handling device, a view of a portion of the fixed user interface and establishing the origin position of the fixed user interface based upon a starting physical position of the information handling device in space when the portion is presented on the display, wherein a remainder of the fixed user interface is not displayed on the display;
detecting, using a processor, movement of the information handling device in space and in three-dimensional coordinates with respect to the origin position and while the user is looking at the display, wherein the detecting comprises determining whether a distance of the movement of the information handling device is greater than a predetermined threshold distance from the origin position; and
updating, responsive to detecting the distance of the movement of the information handling device in space is greater than the predetermined threshold distance from the origin position, the view on the display with another portion of the remainder of the fixed user interface that was previously not displayed on the display, wherein the another portion comprises a portion of the fixed user interface corresponding to an amount of movement in the three-dimensional coordinates from the origin position.
