Abstract
Examples are disclosed for controlling virtual object placement and movement in a physical space as viewed on or through a display. An example method includes receiving a count indicating a number of occupancy transitions over time for a plurality of regions in the physical space, displaying a virtual object in an initial location selected based on the counts for each of the plurality of regions in the physical space, and determining an updated location of the virtual object in the physical space as viewed on or through the display based at least on the initial location of the virtual object and the counts for each of the plurality regions in the physical space. The example method further includes displaying the virtual object in the updated location, the virtual object being controlled to move in the physical space based at least on movements of physical objects through the physical space.
