  • Publication number: 20180232941
    Abstract: Methods, systems and user interfaces enhance an augmented reality experience of a user having freedom of movement within an external environment. A local user interface is created and displayed to the user in a first viewable region. A global user interface is created and displayed to the user in a second viewable region, further from the user than the first viewable region. The local user interface is maintained at a first spatial position, the first spatial position being stationary with respect to a part of the user's body; and the global user interface is maintained at a second spatial position, the second spatial position being stationary with respect to the external environment.
