  • Publication number: 20220237839
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices relating to dynamic virtual element positioning in an augmented reality (AR) environment are described herein. In a method, a viewport may be output by a computing device and may comprise a virtual element and at least a portion of a scene captured by a camera associated with the computing device. A movement of the at least a portion of the scene in the viewport may be determined. An offset focal point along at least a portion of an axis of the virtual element may be determined that is the closest to a viewport focal point at the vertical and horizontal center of the viewport. The virtual element may be positioned in the viewport based on the movement of the at least a portion of the scene in the viewport and a distance between the offset focal point and the viewport focal point.
