Abstract

A computer system having one or more cameras displays in an augmented reality user interface a representation of a field of view of the one or more cameras, including a plurality of objects in a physical environment. In response to one or more first user inputs, the system places or moves a virtual object at or to a location in the representation of the field of view that corresponds to a physical location on or near a first surface of a first physical object. If the virtual object is positioned at a portion of the first surface that does not include other physical objects, or that includes a physical object that extends from the first surface by less than a threshold amount, the first virtual object is in the representation of the field of view with a predefined spatial relationship to a representation of the first surface.
