A computing device for supporting an Augmented-Reality (AR) software application is provided. The computing device is operative to select a physical location for placing a current virtual object, where the current virtual object appears to be placed when overlaid onto a video sequence capturing a physical scene in the surroundings of a user, based on an expected physical location which the user assumes in response to displaying the physical scene and the overlaid current virtual object to the user, and an attribute which is spatially dependent and which has an impact on a user experience of the AR software application. Taking the spatially-dependent attribute at the expected physical location of the user into consideration in selecting physical locations for placing virtual objects is advantageous in that virtual objects may be deployed at physical locations so as to provide an improved, or at least satisfactory, user experience to the users.
