Abstract

The present subject matter refers a virtual object positioning method in an augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) environment. The method comprises receiving a virtual object for positioning relative to one or more objects in an AR or VR scene. During the positioning, a relative position of the virtual object is detected relative to the one or more objects in the AR or VR scene and a position due to the relative movement is detected. An occurrence of change in a physical characteristic of the virtual object is predicted based on the virtual object crossing a boundary with respect to the one or more objects. It is determined that the virtual object is likely to cross the boundary during the positioning. Upon the determination, a prior alert is generated.
