Authoring and presenting 3D presentations in augmented reality

One or more computer storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:

• generating a virtual three-dimensional (“3D”) environment comprising a virtual representation of one or more 3D assets, wherein the virtual 3D environment is generated in an authoring mode associated with a 3D interface that supports spatial authoring including aligning one or more 3D assets relative to a physical space based on scenes and behaviors,
• wherein, in the authoring mode, each of the scenes predefines a particular arrangement of the one or more 3D assets and the corresponding behaviors in the physical space for rendering in a presentation mode;
• receiving a 3D presentation, wherein the 3D presentation comprises the scenes and the behaviors of the one or more 3D assets in alignment with the physical space, wherein the 3D presentation is associated with the 3D interface;
• and
• providing the 3D presentation for rendering of the scenes including 3D images of the one or more 3D assets and the corresponding behaviors.

A computer system comprising:

• one or more hardware processors and memory configured to provide computer program instructions to the one or more hardware processors;
• a three-dimensional (“3D”) environment generator configured to utilize the one or more hardware processors to generate a virtual 3D environment comprising a virtual representation of one or more 3D assets, wherein the virtual 3D environment is generated in an authoring mode associated with a 3D interface that supports spatial authoring including aligning one or more 3D assets relative to a physical space based on scenes and behaviors,
• wherein, the authoring mode, each of the scenes predefines a particular arrangement of the one or more 3D assets and the corresponding behaviors in the physical space for rendering in a presentation mode;
• an authoring component configured to utilize the one or more hardware processors to generate a 3D presentation, wherein the 3D presentation comprises the scenes and the behaviors of the one or more 3D assets in alignment with the physical space, wherein the 3D presentation is associated with the 3D interface;
• and
• a presentation component configured to utilize the one or more hardware processors to provide the 3D presentation for rendering of the scenes including 3D images of the one or more 3D assets and the corresponding behaviors.
