Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to providing a location-based holographic experience. One example provides a head-mounted display device comprising a see-through display, one or more position sensors, a logic subsystem, and a storage subsystem comprising instructions executable by the logic subsystem to obtain data representing a plurality of holographic objects, acquire sensor data via the one or more position sensors to monitor a position of the head-mounted display device along a path of a holographic experience, detect that the position of the head-mounted display device meets a first position-based condition regarding a first holographic object, and display the first holographic object at a corresponding location for the first holographic object.

Abstract: A technique is described herein for placing a virtual object within any type of modified-reality environment. The technique involves receiving the user's specification of plural values in plural stages. The plural values collectively define an object display state. The technique places the virtual object in the modified-reality environment in accordance with the object display state. Overall, the technique allows the user to place the virtual object in the modified-reality environment with high precision and low ambiguity by virtue of its guided piecemeal specification of the object display state.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed herein that relate to displaying image data configured to appear behind a real-world surface. One example provides, on a computing device including a display, a method including obtaining depth data representing a real-world scene, identifying a real-world surface of the real-world scene via the depth data, obtaining volumetric image data and surface image data, the volumetric image data configured to appear as being located in a volume behind the real-world surface, receiving a user input configured to remove an area of surface image data corresponding spatially to the real-world surface, and displaying at least a portion of the volumetric image data in a region in which the area of surface image data was removed.

Abstract: Examples of providing feedback regarding a scan of a three-dimensional object are described. In one example, a method of computer modeling a three-dimensional object includes computer-tracking a three-dimensional pose of a scanning device relative to the three-dimensional object as the three-dimensional pose of the scanning devices changes to measure different contours of the three-dimensional object from different vantage points, and assessing a sufficiency of contour measurements from one or more of the different vantage points based on measurements received from the scanning device. The example method further includes providing haptic feedback, via a haptic output device, indicating the sufficiency of contour measurements corresponding to a current three-dimensional pose of the scanning device.
