Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer readable media that determines distances for mixed reality interaction, where the methods include determining a first position of a point of a surface and rendering a virtual reality (VR) interactive item comprising a VR interactive control. The methods further include tracking a control indicator controlled by the user by determining a first plurality of positions of the control indicator and activating the VR interactive control in response to detecting the control indicator controlled by the user transgressing a first threshold distance from the VR interactive control. The methods further include determining a closest position of the first plurality of positions to the point based on the first position, determining the point of the surface to have a second position based on the determined closest position plus a constant for the control indicator, and associating a second threshold with the point of the surface.
