==Systems, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Displaying and Manipulating Virtual Objects in Augmented Reality Environments - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18219627 titled 'Systems, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Displaying and Manipulating Virtual Objects in Augmented Reality Environments

==Simplified Explanation==

- The patent application describes a computer system with cameras that display a representation of the camera's field of view in an augmented reality user interface.
- The system allows users to place or move virtual objects in the representation of the field of view based on user inputs.
- The virtual objects are placed at or moved to locations that correspond to physical locations on or near a surface of a physical object.
- If the virtual object is positioned on a surface that does not have other physical objects or has a physical object that extends from the surface by less than a certain amount, it is displayed in the representation of the field of view with a predefined spatial relationship to the representation of the surface.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

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.
