Abstract
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for determining an object of interest in an augmented reality environment, displaying an augmented reality selector containing pertinent actions in a reachable area, and causing a selected action to be executed. The augmented reality application may determine an augmented reality object of interest in an augmented reality experience and determine a reachable area of screen from the determined object to a reachable area. The augmented reality application may then display an augmented reality selector in the reachable area that includes interaction options determined based on the augmented reality object being focused on. In a mobile embodiment, this enhancement allows users to interact with the object without repositioning their hands or losing site of the object in the augmented reality experience. For an AR headset, by displaying the augmented reality selector in a reachable area, a user's field of vision remains unimpeded, and the user may interact with the object via simple gestures such as clicks.
