Abstract: Augmented reality systems and methods for creating, saving and rendering designs comprising multiple items of virtual content in a three-dimensional (3D) environment of a user. The designs may be saved as a scene, which is built by a user from pre-built sub-components, built components, and/or previously saved scenes. Location information, expressed as a saved scene anchor and position relative to the saved scene anchor for each item of virtual content, may also be saved. Upon opening the scene, the saved scene anchor node may be correlated to a location within the mixed reality environment of the user for whom the scene is opened. The virtual items of the scene may be positioned with the same relationship to that location as they have to the saved scene anchor node. That location may be selected automatically and/or by user input.

Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) device can be configured to generate a virtual representation of a user's physical environment. The AR device can capture images of the user's physical environment to generate a mesh map. The AR device can project graphics at designated locations on a virtual bounding box to guide the user to capture images of the user's physical environment. The AR device can provide visual, audible, or haptic guidance to direct the user of the AR device to look toward waypoints to generate the mesh map of the user's environment.

Abstract: Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and/or mixed reality (MR) systems may enable one or more users to connect two or more connectable objects together. These connectable objects may be real objects from the user's environment, virtual objects, or a combination thereof. A preview system may be included as a part of the VR, AR, and/or MR systems that provide a preview of the connection between the connectable objects prior to the user(s) connecting the connectable objects. The preview may include a representation of the connectable objects in a connected state along with an indication of whether the connected state is valid or invalid. The preview system may continuously physically model the connectable objects while simultaneously displaying a preview of the connection process to the user of the VR, AR, or MR system.
