Abstract
Optimizations are provided for facilitating interactions with virtual objects included within an augmented-reality scene. Initially, an augmented-reality scene is rendered for a user. Within that scene, an interactive virtual object of an application is rendered. Then, the position of the user's actual hand is determined relative to the interactive virtual object. When the user's actual hand is within a target threshold distance to the interactive virtual object, then a target visual cue is projected onto the interactive virtual object. When the user's actual hand is within an input threshold distance to the interactive virtual object, then an input visual cue is projected onto the interactive virtual object. Once the user's hand is within the input threshold distance to the interactive virtual object, then input may be provided to the application via the interactive object.
