Displaying holograms via hand location

A method enacted on a computing device, the method comprising:

• displaying via a display system at least a portion of a holographic object associated with a holographic volume;
• refraining from displaying at least a portion of a first occluded holographic object and at least a portion of a second occluded holographic object;
• displaying a first affordance for manipulating a first slicing volume;
• displaying a second affordance for manipulating a second slicing volume;
• receiving, from a sensor, first depth image data indicating that a user is grasping and moving the first affordance;
• at least in response to the first depth image data, displaying the first slicing volume expanding within the holographic volume;
• based on a location of the first slicing volume, displaying at least the portion of the first occluded holographic object and at least the portion of the second occluded holographic object;
• receiving, from the sensor, second depth image data indicating that the user is grasping and moving the second affordance;
• at least in response to the second depth image data, displaying the second slicing volume expanding within the holographic volume;
• and
• based on a location of the second slicing volume, cease displaying at least the portion of the second occluded holographic object while continuing to display at least the portion of the first occluded holographic object.

A head-mounted display device, comprising:

• a see-through display system;
• a logic subsystem comprising one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing instructions executable by the logic subsystem to:
• display via the see-through display system at least a portion of a holographic object associated with a holographic volume;
• refrain from displaying at least a portion of a first occluded holographic object and at least a portion of a second occluded holographic object;
• display a first affordance for manipulating a first slicing volume;
• display a second affordance for manipulating a second slicing volume;
• receive, from a sensor, first depth image data indicating that a user is grasping and moving the first affordance;
• at least in response to the first depth image data, display the first slicing volume expanding within the holographic volume;
• based on a location of the first slicing volume, display at least the portion of the first occluded holographic object and at least the portion of the second occluded holographic object;
• receive, from the sensor, second depth image data indicating that the user is grasping and moving the second affordance;
• at least in response to the second depth image data, display the second slicing volume expanding within the holographic volume;
• and
• based on a location of the second slicing volume, cease to display at least the portion of the second occluded holographic object while continuing to display at least the portion of the first occluded holographic object.
