Process for the alignment of virtual content in physical environments

A method for delivering extended reality (XR) content comprising:

• providing a physical environment having a physical entity, a first physical surface and a second physical surface;
• providing a first projected surface that is co-planar with the first physical surface and a second projected surface that is co-planar the second physical surface, wherein the first projected surface intersects with the second projected surface along a first elongate intersection;
• providing an XR system comprising an XR content generation system (XGS) for generating XR content and input-output (I/O) components including an input device for receiving inputs for interacting with the XR content and an output device for outputting XR content including at least visual XR content;
• with the XGS, generating a three-dimensional XR environment having an XR entity that corresponds to the physical entity, a first XR surface, a second XR surface, and a XR intersecting plane, wherein the XR environment may be traversed by receiving the inputs via the input device;
• aligning the XR environment with the physical environment via an alignment process such that a physical location in three-dimensional physical space, and movement of the physical entity within the physical environment is identically aligned and identically mirrored by a corresponding XR location in three-dimensional XR space, and corresponding movement of the XR entity within the XR environment, the alignment process including assigning a location to the XR environment with respect to the physical environment such that:
• the first XR surface is co-planar with the first physical surface;
• the second XR surface is co-planar with the second physical surface;
• the XR intersecting plane intersects with the first XR surface along a fourth elongate intersection and intersects with the second XR surface along a fifth elongate intersection;
• an intersection point is located at an intersection of the fourth elongate intersection with the fifth intersection, such that the intersection point is disposed along the first elongate intersection.
