Moving windows between a virtual display and an extended reality environment

A system for extracting content from a virtual display, the system comprising:

• at least one processor and memory for storing a program for execution by the at least one processor to:
• generate the virtual display via a wearable extended reality appliance, wherein the virtual display presents a group of virtual objects and is located at a first virtual distance from the wearable extended reality appliance;
• generate an extended reality environment via the wearable extended reality appliance, wherein the extended reality environment includes at least one additional virtual object presented at a second virtual distance from the wearable extended reality appliance;
• receive input for causing a specific virtual object from the group of virtual objects to move from the virtual display to the extended reality environment,
• wherein the specific virtual object is a window including a group of control buttons in a particular area of the window, the group of control buttons include at least a control button for minimizing the window, a control button for maximizing the window, a control button for closing the window, and a control button for moving the window outside the virtual display;
• and wherein the input includes an activation of the control button for moving the window outside the virtual display;
• and
• in response to receiving the input, generate a presentation of a version of the specific virtual object in the extended reality environment at a third virtual distance from the wearable extended reality appliance, wherein the third virtual distance differs from the first virtual distance and the second virtual distance.
