Abstract

Devices and techniques are described for dynamically disabling occlusion in augmented reality. Point cloud data representing a physical 3D environment may be generated. An occupancy grid including a plurality of cells representing the 3D physical environment may be generated including first occupancy data for a first cell of the occupancy grid. The first occupancy data may indicate that the first cell is occupied based on a point of the point cloud data being present in the first cell. First data representing a placement of a first 3D virtual object may be received, the placement corresponding to a first set of the plurality of cells. A first number of the first set of the plurality of cells with occupancy data indicating occupancy may be determined. The first 3D virtual object may be rendered on a display of the mobile device in front of any physical objects in the 3D physical environment.
