Systems and methods for augmented reality

A method, performed by a display system that includes a head-mounted augmented reality display device that is worn by a user and that presents virtual content to the user;

• one or more sensors;
• and one or more processors, and computer storage media storing instructions that when executed by the display system, cause the display system to perform the method, the method comprising:
• obtaining information, detected via the one or more sensors of the display system, and identifying an optical code within a field of view of display system or a wireless transmitter proximate to the display system, wherein the optical code or wireless transmitter triggers access to virtual content;
• accessing user profile information associated with the user, the user profile information including customized settings associated with presentation of virtual content, wherein the customized settings are set by the user, and wherein the customized settings include:
• one or more types of virtual content which are disallowed for presentation to the user, a maximum size associated with presented virtual content, and a maximum number of virtual objects presented at a same time to the user;
• estimating a depth of the optical code or the wireless transmitter, the depth representing an estimated distance of the display system to the optical code or wireless transmitter;
• obtaining, via the access triggered by the optical code or wireless transmitter, virtual content to be presented via the display system, the virtual content being presented as augmented reality content visible within an ambient environment, wherein the ambient environment includes a real-world object which is detectable by the processors via the one or more sensors and is associated with the virtual content, and wherein the obtained virtual content is indicated as being allowable for presentation based on the customized settings;
• selecting a depth plane of a plurality of depth planes at which to present the virtual content, the depth plane selected based on the estimated depth of the optical code or the wireless transmitter, and the depth plane corresponding to the estimated depth;
• and
• presenting, via the head-mounted augmented reality display device, the virtual content at the selected depth plane in accordance with the customized settings, wherein the real-world object is an input device, and wherein movement of the real-world object causes corresponding movement of the virtual content as presented at the selected depth plane.
