Virtual object positioning in augmented reality applications

Abstract:

Systems and methods include determination of a first component of a set of components under assembly in a physical environment, determination of a first physical position of a user with respect to the first component in the physical environment, determination of a second component of the set of components under assembly based on assembly information associated with the set of components, determination of three-dimensional surface data of the second component, determination of a physical relationship between the first component and the second component based on a model associated with the set of components, determination of a graphical representation of the second component based on the first physical position of the user with respect to the first component, the physical relationship between the first component and the second component, and the three-dimensional surface data of the second component, and presentation of the graphical representation to the user in a view including the first component in the physical environment, wherein the presented graphical representation appears to the user to be in the physical relationship to the first component.
