How to make text interesting?

What other Reddit features would you like to see? Search? Saving posts? Sharing posts? Viewing a specific subreddit by name?

Each subreddit is displayed intext with the posts displayed as cubes beneath it. To visit a subreddit you simply fly in that direction and look at the cubes.What's cool is there's some discovery on the way as opposed to immediately clicking a link with no middle ground. Hooray serendipity!Subreddits that are 18+ in nature such as nsfw, WTF, creepy, etc. are displayed intext. They're also further away in distance and require a few extra seconds travel time to reach them. This makes it harder to accidentally click a link and end up somewhere you don't want to be (it happens quite regularly on reddit, beware!)Some subreddits even have ambient 3D sound, which can draw your attention to them as you fly by. Currently they're all preset but eventually these could be pulled from the web.Oculus Rift support has been added but because of the lower resolution it can be harder to read small text.
