Artificial Reality Interaction Plane

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

• display a horizontal screen that is visible to a user through a display, wherein the horizontal screen has a point closest to the user;
• determine a first horizontal distance between a position of the user and the horizontal screen;
• determine a first vertical distance between a controller associated with the user and the horizontal screen, wherein the controller receives input from the user and deliver the input to the computing device;
• create a transparent interaction screen, wherein the transparent interaction screen is positioned based on the closest point of the horizontal screen, wherein the transparent interaction screen is tilted toward the user from the horizontal screen by an angle, and wherein the angle is determined based at least on the first horizontal distance or the first vertical distance;
• detect a first event that a ray cast from a virtual representation of the controller hits a first point on the transparent interaction screen;
• and
• translate, in response to the detection, the first event to a second event that the ray cast hits a second point on the horizontal screen, wherein the first point on the transparent interaction screen is one-to-one mapped to the second point on the horizontal screen.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to one or more of the processors and comprising instructions operable when executed by one or more of the processors to cause the system to:
• display a horizontal screen that is visible to a user through a display, wherein the horizontal screen has a point closest to the user;
• determine a first horizontal distance between a position of the user and the horizontal screen;
• determine a first vertical distance between a controller associated with the user and the horizontal screen, wherein the controller receives input from the user and deliver the input to the computing device;
• create a transparent interaction screen, wherein the transparent interaction screen is positioned based on the closest point of the horizontal screen, wherein the transparent interaction screen is tilted toward the user from the horizontal screen by an angle, and wherein the angle is determined based at least on the first horizontal distance or the first vertical distance;
• detect a first event that a ray cast from a virtual representation of the controller hits a first point on the transparent interaction screen;
• and
• translate, in response to the detection, the first event to a second event that the ray cast hits a second point on the horizontal screen, wherein the first point on the transparent interaction screen is one-to-one mapped to the second point on the horizontal screen.
