Abstract
In general, the disclosure describes artificial reality (AR) systems and techniques for generating and presenting virtual surfaces within an artificial reality environment and for facilitating user interaction with the virtual surfaces using a physical peripheral device. For example, AR systems are described that generate and render virtual surfaces, such as a virtual pinboard or a virtual drawing surface (e.g., a virtual canvas) in an artificial reality environment, for display to a user. The AR systems enable the user to interact with the virtual surfaces using a physical peripheral device, which may be manipulated and otherwise interacted with by the user to provide input to an AR system through pose tracking of the peripheral device and/or via one or more input devices of the peripheral device, such as a presence-sensitive surface.
