Provided is a virtual object processing method. The virtual object processing method includes: detecting a spatial plane in a scene where a first device is located; detecting real objects in the scene to determine a plurality of real object position boxes; determining, based on a matching relation between the plurality of real object position boxes and the spatial plane in the scene, a candidate position box set from the plurality of real object position boxes; determining, in response to a virtual object configuration operation for a target position box in the candidate position box set, position information of the virtual object in the target position box; transmitting position on the virtual object and the position information of the virtual object in the target position box to a second device for displaying the virtual object on the second device.
