A computing device is provided, which includes an input device, a display device, and a processor configured to, at a rendering stage of a rendering pipeline, render visual scene data to a frame buffer, and generate a signed distance field of edges of vector graphic data, and, at a reprojection stage of the rendering pipeline prior to displaying the rendered visual scene, receive post rendering user input via the input device that updates the user perspective, reproject the rendered visual scene data in the frame buffer based on the updated user perspective, reproject data of the signed distance field based on an updated user perspective, evaluate the signed distance field to generate reprojected vector graphic data, and generate a composite image including the reprojected rendered visual scene data and the reprojected graphic data, and display the composite image on the display device.

Embodiments that relate to interacting with a physical object in a mixed reality environment via a head-mounted display are disclosed. In one embodiment a mixed reality interaction program identifies an object based on an image from captured by the display. An interaction context for the object is determined based on an aspect of the mixed reality environment. A profile for the physical object is queried to determine interaction modes for the object. A selected interaction mode is programmatically selected based on the interaction context. A user input directed at the object is received via the display and interpreted to correspond to a virtual action based on the selected interaction mode. The virtual action is executed with respect to a virtual object associated with the physical object to modify an appearance of the virtual object. The modified virtual object is then displayed via the display.
