Abstract
Systems and methods provide for object interaction based on an identified context. A wearable device, such as a head-mounted display device (HMD), is initiated. The HMD can obtain data via one or more sensors that corresponds to one or more non-human-machine interface (HMI) devices or objects. Based on the obtained data, the HMD can recognize and identify the non-HMI devices within an optically-encoded field of view of the HMD. The non-HMI devices can be viewed through the HMD along with virtual objects or identifiers associated therewith, and the virtual objects or identifiers can reference the viewed non-HMI devices. One or more commands associated with the virtual objects or indicators can then be received by the HMD to enable interaction with the viewed non-HMI devices. Based on the commands information can be provided for display or audio output.
