Abstract
Examples are disclosed that relate to displaying lists on augmented reality and virtual reality display devices in such a manner as to avoid list occlusion and resulting user input errors. One disclosed example provides a computing device including an image sensor, a display device, a logic device configured to execute instructions, and a storage device comprising instructions executable by the logic device. The instructions are executable to generate a representation of the list, compare the representation of the list to a topology of a three-dimensional environment viewable via the display device to determine whether the representation of the list intersects any object in the topology, and if the representation of the list intersects an object in the topology of the three-dimensional environment, then adjust one or more of a position and orientation of each of one or more items of the list to adapt to the object in the topology.
