Abstract
Representative embodiments allow rendering of negative space in real world objects in a virtual reality or augmented reality system. Negative space is what exists within a real-world object. Positive space is what exists outside of a real-world object. Scans of a real-world object are submitted to a search engine to retrieve a negative space model for the positive space object. The negative space model is optionally adjusted to account for real world parameters of the negative space. Anchor points are identified for the negative space model. A positive space portion of the real-world object is removed and the negative space model is scaled, rotated and rendered on top of the real-world object at the appropriate location. A user can interact with both the real-world object and negative space object through the virtual reality or augmented reality system.
