A technique is described herein for placing a virtual object within any type of modified-reality environment. The technique involves receiving the user's specification of plural values in plural stages. The plural values collectively define an object display state. The technique places the virtual object in the modified-reality environment in accordance with the object display state. Overall, the technique allows the user to place the virtual object in the modified-reality environment with high precision and low ambiguity by virtue of its guided piecemeal specification of the object display state.

Multi-step placement of virtual objects

A method for moving a virtual object includes displaying a virtual object and moving the virtual object based on a user input. Based on the user input attempting to move the virtual object in violation of an obstacle, displaying a collision indicator and an input indicator. The collision indicator is moved based on user input and movement constraints imposed by the obstacle. The input indicator is moved based on user input without movement constraints imposed by the obstacle.

Virtual object movement

Technology is proposed to enable navigating a holographic image. A moving object, such as a hand, is tracked and a gesture is recognized. In response to recognizing the gesture, a virtual shape is created at the location of the recognized gesture. The shape has at least one dimension. The holographic image is moved based on current position of the moving object with respect to the virtual shape.

Navigating a holographic image

Examples are disclosed herein that relate to constraining communication among HMD devices. One example provides a computing system comprising a logic machine and a storage machine holding instructions. The instructions are executable to receive, for each of a plurality of head-mounted display devices, vantage point data, determine, for each of the plurality of head-mounted display devices, whether one or more other head-mounted display devices are within a vantage point scope of that head-mounted display device, the vantage point scope being based on the vantage point data of that head-mounted display device, and constrain, for each of one or more head-mounted display devices, delivery of communication data from that head-mounted display device to one or more of the plurality of head-mounted display devices, such constraint based on whether that head-mounted display device is within the vantage point scope of one or more of the plurality of head-mounted display devices.
