Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device may include one or more sensors and one or more displays. The display may be configured to display virtual objects of various types. The electronic device may receive a request to display a first type of virtual object that has a location defined relative to a location corresponding to the electronic device or a user of the electronic device. In response to the request to display the first type of virtual object, the electronic device may determine a depth of an object that is aligned with a target display direction for the virtual object, determine an apparent depth at which to display the virtual object based on at least the depth of the object, and display, via the one or more displays, the virtual object at the apparent depth.
