Abstract
In some examples, a virtual surface presented by an artificial reality (AR) system may be a virtual drawing surface in an artificial reality environment, with which users may interact using a physical peripheral device. For example, the AR system may enable a user to draw or write on a surface of the peripheral device and may simultaneously, i.e., along with the user inputs, render virtual markings corresponding to the user inputs on a virtual drawing surface locked to the surface of the peripheral device. In some cases, the AR system enables the user to “transfer” the virtual markings rendered on the surface of the peripheral device (e.g., a virtual drawing) to another virtual drawing surface (e.g., to a planar or other surface in the artificial reality environment).
