A method includes receiving an image of a real environment using a camera worn by a user, and determining a portion of the image that comprises an object of interest. Based on the portion of the image that comprises the object of interest, a surface representing the object of interest is generated. Depth measurements of the real environment corresponding to the portion of the image comprising the object of interest are received and used to determine a depth of the surface representing the object of interest. The surface is posed in a coordinate system corresponding to the real environment based on the depth of the surface and a visibility of a virtual object is determined relative to the object of interest by comparing a model of the virtual object with the surface. The output image is generated based on the determined visibility of the virtual object.
