Abstract
Techniques for improving the visualization of three-dimensional (3D) models of items on computing devices for augmented reality (AR) are described. One technique includes obtaining a virtual representation of an item and detecting a plane within a physical environment. A range of distances to the plane from a computing device for visualizing the virtual representation on a screen of the computing device is determined based on (i) physical attribute(s) of the screen and (ii) physical attribute(s) of the virtual representation. The virtual representation is rendered on the screen for positions on the plane that are within the range of distances from the computing device. The virtual representation is not rendered on the screen for positions on the plane that are outside of the range of distances from the computing device.
