Abstract: A remote control device controls a physical controlled device in a physical user space using a virtual control in a mixed reality environment, including positioning, by a remote control device, the virtual control associated with the physical controlled device within a visual user space displayed by the remote control device and viewable within a field of view of a user. The remote control device detects a first user activation of the virtual control within the visual user space and generates a remote control instruction representing the first user activation of the virtual control by the user, the remote control instruction being supported by the physical controlled device to perform the first user activation on the physical controlled device. The remote control device transmits the remote control instruction from the remote control device to the physical controlled device, responsive to detecting the first user activation.
