Augmented reality scrollbar

A method comprising:

• under control of a display system comprising computer hardware:
• directing a display to render a virtual layout of virtual content associated with a subset of the library of virtual content;
• receiving a user indication to scroll the virtual layout;
• directing the display to render a scrollbar that comprises a bar having a temporarily fixed edge and a movable edge, the temporarily fixed edge rendered during scrolling at a fixed position that is representative of an initial scrolling location associated with the subset of the library of virtual content;
• directing the display to render, during scrolling, the movable end at a movable position that is representative of a current scrolling location associated with the library of virtual content;
• and
• directing the display to render, after scrolling ceases, the temporarily fixed edge at a position such that a length of the bar relative to a length of the scrollbar is representative of a fractional amount of the library of virtual content that is rendered in the virtual layout.

A display system comprising:

• a display configured to be positioned in front of an eye of a user, the display configured to project virtual content in a field of view (FOV) toward an eye of the user;
• and
• non-transitory storage configured to store virtual content associated with a library of virtual content;
• a hardware processor in communication with the display and the non-transitory storage, the hardware processor programmed to:
• direct the display to render virtual content associated with a subset of the library of virtual content in at least a portion of the FOV;
• receive a user indication to scroll the virtual layout;
• direct the display to render, during scrolling, a scrollbar that comprises a bar having a first end and a second end, the first end rendered at a fixed position representative of an initial scrolling location associated with the library of virtual content, and the second end rendered at a moving position representative of a current scrolling location associated with the library of virtual content;
• and
• direct the display to render, after scrolling ceases, the first end at a position such that a length of the bar relative to a length of the scrollbar is representative of a fractional amount of the library of virtual content that is rendered in the at least a portion of the FOV.

• a hardware processor in communication with the display and the non-transitory storage, the hardware processor programmed to:
• direct the display to render a first subset of a library of virtual content;
• direct the display to render a scroll graphic comprising a first graphical element and a second graphical element, the scroll graphic having a scroll length;
• direct the display to render, during scrolling, the first graphical element of the scroll graphic at a fixed position that is representative of an initial location of the first subset of the library of virtual content;
• direct the display to render, during the scrolling, the second graphical element of the scroll graphic at a movable position that is representative of a current location of the scrolling within the library of virtual content;
• direct the display to render, after the scrolling ceases, a second subset of the library of virtual content;
• and
• direct the display to render, after the scrolling ceases, the first graphical element at a first position and the second graphical element at a second position,
• wherein a distance between the first position and the second position relative to the scroll length of the scroll graphic is representative of an amount of the second subset relative to the entire library of virtual content.
