Systems and methods for attaching a virtual input device to a virtual object in a mixed reality (MR) environment are provided. The system includes a memory, a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, and a display device. The display device is configured to display a MR environment provided by at least one application implemented by the processor. The mixed reality environment includes a virtual object corresponding to an application, and a virtual input device. The at least one application docks the virtual input device to the virtual object with an offset relative to the virtual object.

A method of and system for visualizing a sound source is disclosed. The method may include analyzing an audio signal received by a sound transducer to determine a positional direction of the sound source, determining whether the positional direction of the sound source falls outside a field of view of a user, and in response to determining that the positional direction of the sound source falls outside the field of view of the user, rendering on a display unit a visual representation of the sound source. The visual representation of the source is rendered on a virtual surface at a location within the field of view of the user, the location corresponding to at least one of a distance of the source from the user and a positional direction of the source with respect to the user.
