Abstract
A mixed reality display system determines a shared coordinate system that is understood by a mixed reality application running on the mixed reality display system and an operating system of the mixed reality display system. The operating system can display a system user interface (UI) element in a mixed reality environment. The system UI element can be displayed at a location in a mixed reality environment. The location is specified by the mixed reality application according to the shared coordinate system. A size and orientation for displaying the system UI element may also be specified. Also, the location, size and orientation may be specified through application program interfaces (API) of the operating system. API calls may be made per frame to adjust the location, size or orientation per frame of the displayed mixed reality environment.
