Abstract
A virtual object anchor stores an offset in memory that defines a virtual object position, orientation and scale relative to the location of the virtual object anchor. Information handling systems retrieve and apply the offset to generate a virtual object in a head mounted display that is presented at a location relative to the virtual object defined by the offset. In one embodiment, gestures detected by information handling system sensors that change the position, orientation or scale of the virtual object are applied to update the offset and communicated for storage at the virtual object anchor. In another embodiment, gestures detected by sensors of the virtual object anchor are applied to update the offset so that the updated offset is communicated to the information handling systems for presentation of the virtual object at an updated position, orientation and/or scale determined from the gestures.
