In one embodiment, a method includes rendering, for one or more displays of a VR display device, a first output image of a VR environment. The VR environment includes a personal UI associated with a first user. The personal UI has a first form factor and a first pose with respect to the first user, is a virtual object comprising one or more 2D virtual displays, and is operable to execute a plurality of applications. The method includes determining whether to adapt the personal UI based on a detected change in a context of the first user with respect to the VR environment. The method includes rendering a second output image of the VR environment, where the personal UI is adapted to have a second form factor and a second pose with respect to the first user responsive to determining to adapt the personal UI based on the detected change in the context of the first user.

In one embodiment, a method includes displaying, for one or more displays of a virtual VR device, a first output image comprising a passthrough view of a real-world environment. The method includes identifying, using one or more images captured by one or more cameras of the VR display device, a real-world object in the real-world environment. The method includes receiving a user input indicating a first dimension corresponding to the real-world object. The method includes automatically determining, based on the first dimension, a second and third dimension corresponding to the real-world object. The method includes rendering, for the one or more displays of the VR display device, a second output image of a VR environment. The VR environment includes a MR object that corresponds to the real-world object. The MR object is defined by the determined first, second, and third dimensions.
