Abstract
A method and system for coordinating placement of an augmented reality/virtual world object(s) into a scene relative to position and orientation. The object(s) can be connected to an anchor point having an absolute location relative to the marker via a connector (e.g., spring-like connector) in such a way that the behavior of the object responds to a physical force and a collision which exists in the augmented reality scene. The connection between the virtual object and location of the marker permits the object to exactly track the marker when there are no real world collisions between the markers. The virtual objects can be displaced so the objects do not pass through one another when the real world markers come into a close spatial proximity and the corresponding virtual objects begin to collide.
