Holographic snap grid

摘要

Methods for positioning virtual objects within an augmented reality environment using snap grid spaces associated with real-world environments, real-world objects, and/or virtual objects within the augmented reality environment are described. A snap grid space may comprise a two-dimensional or three-dimensional virtual space within an augmented reality environment in which one or more virtual objects may be positioned. In some embodiments, a head-mounted display device (HMD) may identify one or more grid spaces within an augmented reality environment, detect a positioning of a virtual object within the augmented reality environment, determine a target grid space of the one or more grid spaces in which to position the virtual object, determine a position of the virtual object within the target grid space, and display the virtual object within the augmented reality environment based on the position of the virtual object within the target grid space.

主权项

1. An electronic device for generating an augmented reality environment, comprising:
one or more processors, the one or more processors determine a plurality of virtual objects that are positioned within the augmented reality environment, the plurality of virtual objects includes a first virtual object, the one or more processors identify a first snap grid space within the augmented reality environment, the one or more processors determine that the first virtual object is the smallest virtual object of the plurality of virtual objects, the one or more processors automatically determine a grid spacing associated with the first snap grid space based on a size of the first virtual object in response to determining that the first virtual object is the smallest virtual object of the plurality of virtual objects that are positioned within the augmented reality environment, the one or more processors automatically determine the grid spacing without intervention by an end user of the electronic device, the plurality of virtual objects comprises virtual objects of at least two different sizes; and a see-through display in communication with the one or more processors, the see-through display displays one or more images such that the first virtual object is perceived to exist within the augmented reality environment at a position within the first snap grid space.
