Abstract
Methods, computing devices and head-mounted display devices for displaying user interface elements with virtual objects are disclosed. In one example, a virtual object and one or more user interface elements are displayed within a physical environment. User input is received that moves one or more of the virtual object and the one or more user interface elements. One or more of the virtual object and the one or more user interface elements are determined to be within a predetermined distance of a physical surface. Based at least on this determination, the one or more user interface elements are displayed on the surface.
