1. A computer-readable storage medium, excluding transitory signals and carrying instructions, which, when executed by at least one data processor of a system, cause the system to:
cause a head-mounted display (HMD) device worn by a user to display a mixed reality interface including multiple graphical tiles in an augmented reality or virtual reality projection,
wherein the HMD device is configured to have an externally facing camera,
wherein the camera captures the user's surrounding real-world environment,
wherein one or more graphical tiles is associated with an electronic message,
wherein one or more graphical tiles are selectively interactive among the multiple graphical tiles based on a user action, and
wherein the user action includes at least one of a user's motion-based gesture, a user's eye movement, or a user's voice command;
detect a particular user action relative to the mixed reality interface while displaying the multiple graphical tiles;
correlate the particular user action to the display of the mixed reality interface to interact with a particular graphical tile among the multiple graphical tiles; and
in response to the particular user action:
cause display of, through the mixed reality interface, the interaction with the particular graphical tile of the multiple graphical tiles.
