Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system that selects virtual content. The system starts by receiving or gathering a set of virtual content that includes context data. Next, the system assigns items of virtual content from the set of virtual content to one or more dimensions of context with increasing levels of specificity of user relevance, with at least one of the dimensions of context having two or more levels of user relevance. The system then selects a subset of the set of virtual content based on one or more levels of specificity of one or more dimensions of context and displays the subset of the virtual content to the user.
