Abstract

Embodiments that relate to displaying holographic keyboard and hand images in a holographic environment are provided. In one embodiment depth information of an actual position of a user's hand is received from a capture device. The user's hand is spaced by an initial actual distance from the capture device, and a holographic keyboard image is displayed spatially separated by a virtual distance from a holographic hand image. The user's hand is determined to move to an updated actual distance from the capture device. In response, the holographic keyboard image is maintained spatially separated by substantially the virtual distance from the holographic hand image.
