Abstract: Systems and methods for simulating user interaction with virtual objects in an augmented reality environment are provided. Three-dimensional point cloud information from a three-dimensional volumetric imaging sensor may be obtained. An object position of a virtual object may be determined. Individual potential force vectors for potential forces exerted on the virtual object may be determined. An individual potential force vector may be defined by one or more of a magnitude, a direction, and/or other information. An aggregate scalar magnitude of the individual potential force vectors may be determined. An aggregate potential force vector may be determined by aggregating the magnitudes and directions of the individual potential force vectors. It may be determined whether the potential forces exerted on the virtual object are conflicting.

Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods to facilitate interactions in an interactive space. Interactions may include interactions between one or more real-world objects and one or more virtual objects. The interactions with a virtual object may be facilitated through the use of a secondary virtual object that may be provided as part of the virtual object. Interactions with the secondary virtual object may translated into interactions with the virtual object.

Abstract: The methods, systems, techniques, and components described herein allow interaction volumes of virtual objects in a virtual environment, such as a Virtual or Augmented Reality environment, to be modified based on user interactions taken on virtual frames created for those virtual objects. A user interaction element of a virtual frame may receive a user interaction. The user interaction may comprise one or more instructions to modify the size, shape, or other visual property of the virtual object. For example, the user interaction may comprise one or more instructions to change a size of the virtual object while maintaining a scale of the virtual object. In response to the user interaction, visual properties of the virtual frame and/or the virtual object may be modified. Interaction volumes of component elements of the virtual frame as well as interaction volumes of the virtual object may be modified in response to the user interaction.

A user interaction element of a virtual frame may receive a user interaction. The user interaction may comprise one or more instructions to modify the size, shape, or other visual property of the virtual object. As an example, the user interaction may comprise one or more instructions to change a size of the virtual object while maintaining a scale of the virtual object. In response to the user interaction, visual properties of the virtual frame and/or the virtual object may be modified. Interaction volumes of component elements of the virtual frame as well as interaction volumes of the virtual object may be modified in response to the user interaction.

Abstract: A system configured to facilitate interactions with virtual content in an augmented reality environment may comprise one or more of a hand tracking device, a light source, an optical element, one or more physical processor, non-transitory electronic storage, and/or other components. The hand tracking device may be configured to generate output signals conveying positions of a digit of a user's hand over time. The light source may be configured to emit light forming images of virtual content. The optical element being configured to provide the light emitted from the light source into one or more eyes of a user. A visual indicator may be provide that visually indicates a perceived distance between the virtual content and the digit.

Abstract: The methods, systems, techniques, and components described herein allow interactions with virtual objects in a virtual environment, such as a Virtual Reality (VR) environment or Augmented Reality (AR) environment, to be modeled accurately. More particularly, the methods, systems, techniques, and components described herein allow interactive virtual frames to be created for virtual objects in a virtual environment. The virtual frames may be built using line primitives that form frame boundaries based on shape boundaries of virtual objects enclosed by the virtual frame. An area of interactivity defined by the virtual frame may allow users to interact with the virtual object in the virtual environment.
