In some embodiments, an augmented reality system is provided. The augmented reality system is configured to detect real-world objects, create software objects that represent the real-world objects, receive requests from applications to present virtual objects at locations associated with the real-world objects, and to present the virtual objects. In some embodiments, an operating system of the augmented reality system is configured to resolve conflicts between requests from multiple applications. In some embodiments, the operating system of the augmented reality system is configured to provide information to applications to allow the applications to avoid or resolve conflicts amongst themselves.

Techniques for enabling multiple mutually untrusted applications to concurrently generate augmented reality presentations

In some embodiments, an augmented reality system is provided that provides output security. In some embodiments, an operating system of the augmented reality system provides trusted management support for presenting virtual objects from untrusted applications executing in multiple isolated processes. With the output security mechanisms enabled, untrusted applications are still provided significant flexibility to create immersive AR experiences, but their presented content is constrained by the augmented reality system based on one or more output policies that are intended to reduce intrusiveness of virtual object presentations. Output policies may be composable, such that more than one output policy may be enforced on a given virtual object in a way that reduces intrusiveness of the presentation of the virtual object.
