This disclosure describes an artificial reality system that presents artificial reality content or artificial reality effects based on, or in response to, interactions with one or more physical objects within a physical environment. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes determining that a user has performed a trigger action on a trigger object; responsive to determining that the user has performed the trigger action, generating artificial reality content; presenting the artificial reality content on a display associated with a head-mounted display; determining that the user has performed a de-trigger action; and responsive to determining that the user has performed the de-trigger action, discontinuing presentation of the artificial reality content.

Artificial reality triggered by physical object

A virtual reality (VR) system is described that enables users to create, model, and visualize augmented reality experiences at physical, real-world locations, without needing to physically be at the location for which the augmented experience is being modeled. In one example, the VR system includes a head-mounted device (HMD), an augmented reality content development system, and a rendering engine. The HMD is configured to output VR content representing a physical environment for an augmented reality experience. The augmented reality content development system is configured to identify, based on an input, augmented reality content with which to augment the physical environment for the augmented reality experience. The rendering engine is configured to render, via the HMD, the VR content representing the physical environment, augmented with the augmented reality content.
