Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes generating a plurality of spatial points based on depth measurements of physical objects within a physical space surrounding a user and determining, based on the spatial points, a location at which a physical object is likely to exist. The method then renders, based on the location of the physical object, a virtual space representing the physical space. This virtual space may include a virtual object representing the physical object. The method displays the virtual space to the user, and, while displaying the virtual space, receives input from the user indicating a boundary of a subspace within the virtual space, and detects that at least a portion of the virtual object is within the subspace. Finally, the method updates the virtual space to indicate that the portion of the virtual object is within the subspace.
