Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes displaying, through a head-mounted display (HMD), virtual objects to a user wearing the HMD. The method then accesses a boundary definition that corresponds to a boundary within a physical space surrounding the user and generates a plurality of spatial points based on depth measurements of physical objects within the physical space. Based on the spatial points, a location at which a physical object is likely to exist is determined. The method determines whether the location of the physical object is inside the boundary definition and, in response to this determination, issues an alert to the user.
