Abstract
Augmented reality systems and methods for automatically repositioning a virtual object with respect to a destination object in a three-dimensional (3D) environment of a user are disclosed. The systems and methods can automatically attach the target virtual object to the destination object and re-orient the target virtual object based on the affordances of the virtual object or the destination object. The systems and methods can also track the movement of a user and detach the virtual object from the destination object when the user's movement passes a threshold condition.
