Abstract
Methods for providing real-time feedback to an end user of a mobile device as they are interacting with or manipulating one or more virtual objects within an augmented reality environment are described. The real-time feedback may comprise visual feedback, audio feedback, and/or haptic feedback. In some embodiments, a mobile device, such as a head-mounted display device (HMD), may determine an object classification associated with a virtual object within an augmented reality environment, detect an object manipulation gesture performed by an end user of the mobile device, detect an interaction with the virtual object based on the object manipulation gesture, determine a magnitude of a virtual force associated with the interaction, and provide real-time feedback to the end user of the mobile device based on the interaction, the magnitude of the virtual force applied to the virtual object, and the object classification associated with the virtual object.
