An information handling device, comprising:

• a display;
• a processor;
• a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:
• detect a user command to select an article of virtual data displayed on a display screen of another device, wherein the article is within a field of view of the display of the information handling device and wherein the user command is a gesture command;
• communicate, to the another device, an intention to select the article, wherein the instructions executable by the processor to communicate comprise instructions executable by the processor to:
• identify a location of the gesture command with respect to a physical position on the display screen of the another device, wherein the physical position on the display screen of the another device corresponds to a digital position of the article;
• and
• provide, to the another device, an indication of the physical position;
• detect another user command to transfer the article to the information handling device, wherein the another user command is performed within a predetermined time of the user command;
• communicate, to the another device, an indication of the another user command to transfer;
• and
• receiving, at the information handling device and from the another device, the article of virtual data;
• wherein the information handling device is an augmented reality device.

A product, comprising:

• a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor of an augmented reality device and comprising:
• code that detects a user command to select an article of virtual data displayed on a display screen of another device, wherein the article is within a field of view of the augmented reality device and wherein the user command is a gesture command;
• code that communicates, to the another device, an intention to select the article, wherein the code that communicates comprises code that:
• identifies a location of the gesture command with respect to a physical position on the display screen, wherein the physical position on the display screen corresponds to a digital position of the article;
• and
• provides, to the another device, an indication of the physical position;
• code that detects another user command to transfer the article to the augmented reality device, wherein the another user command is performed within a predetermined time of the user command;
• code that communicates, to the another device, an indication of the another user command to transfer;
• and
• code that receives, at the augmented reality device and from the another device, the article of virtual data.
