Abstract
A method of implementing a plurality of contextual applications within a mixed reality (MR) environment on an MR-capable device of a user is disclosed. At least one real-world object is identified in the MR environment by applying an object recognition algorithm to one or more attributes of the at least one real-world object that are captured by sensors of the MR-capable device. A first contextual application of the plurality of contextual applications is used to determine an association between a first set of contextual triggers and a second contextual application of the plurality of contextual applications. A second contextual application is initiated based on a satisfying of the at least one contextual trigger. A function is invoked within the second contextual application based on an interaction of the user with at least one virtual object satisfying a second set of contextual triggers associated with the second contextual application.
