Augmented reality interaction and contextual menu system

A system, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to perform operations comprising:
• determining that a tilt of a headset used to view and interact with an interface is less than a threshold, wherein the interface is configured to shift a display position of a collapsed menu icon responsive to a change in a position of the headset while the tilt remains less than the threshold, and wherein the interface is configured to increase a visibility of the collapsed menu icon when the tilt is greater than the threshold;
• detecting a hand gesture, from a user, corresponding to an expansion command associated with displaying a plurality of menu options on the interface;
• and
• replacing the collapsed menu icon with the plurality of menu options responsive to the hand gesture, wherein the plurality of menu options enable the user to access functionality from the interface, wherein at least a portion of the functionality was previously inaccessible via the collapsed menu icon.

A non-transitory computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• determining that a tilt of a headset used to view and interact with an interface is less than a threshold, wherein the interface is configured to shift a display position of a collapsed menu icon responsive to a change in a position of the headset while the tilt remains less than the threshold, and wherein the interface is configured to increase a visibility of the collapsed menu icon when the tilt is greater than the threshold;
• detecting a hand gesture, from a user, corresponding to an expansion command associated with displaying a plurality of menu options on the interface;
• and
• replacing the collapsed menu icon with the plurality of menu options responsive to the hand gesture, wherein the plurality of menu options enable the user to access functionality from the interface, wherein at least a portion of the functionality was previously inaccessible via the collapsed menu icon.
