Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to computing devices, head-mounted display devices, and methods for displaying holographic objects using slicing planes or volumes. In one example a computing device causes a display system to display a holographic object associated with a holographic volume, the holographic object occluding an occluded holographic object that is not displayed. Location data of at least a portion of a hand is received from a sensor. The location data of the hand is used to locate a slicing plane or a slicing volume within the holographic volume. Based on the location of the slicing plane or the slicing volume, at least a portion of the occluded holographic object is displayed via the display system.

Abstract: A method for an augmented reality device includes displaying a virtual dial control having a virtual three-dimensional position in a virtual coordinate system. A first real-world three-dimensional position of a human hand is detected and translated into a first effective virtual position relative to the virtual coordinate system. A dial-rotation-initiating gesture is detected from the human hand at the first effective virtual position. A movement of the human hand is tracked from the first real-world three-dimensional position to a second real-world three-dimensional position corresponding to a second effective virtual position. A dial-rotation-terminating gesture is detected from the hand at the second effective virtual position.

Abstract: One disclosed example provides a computing device comprising a logic subsystem comprising a processor, and memory storing instructions executable by the logic subsystem. The instructions are executable to display via a display system one or more holographic objects, receive depth image data from a depth image sensor, detect a user input setting a trajectory for a selected holographic object, in response to detecting the user input setting the trajectory for the selected holographic object, determine the trajectory for the selected holographic object set by the user input, determine, based upon the depth image data and the trajectory, a surface intersected by the trajectory of the selected holographic object, and display via the display system the selected holographic object as travelling along the trajectory and changing in form upon encountering the surface.
