Determination of environmental augmentation allocation data
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a head mounted display, augmentation allocation property data that comprises data that correlates a virtual information region with at least one surface property;
receiving information indicative of at least one physical object that is in a physical environment proximate to the head mounted display;
determining that the physical object has a surface that conforms with the surface property;
determining environmental augmentation allocation data that comprises data that correlates the virtual information region with the surface of the physical object such that the environmental augmentation allocation data designates the surface of the physical object for display of a representation of information allocated to the virtual information region, the determination of the environmental augmentation allocation data being based, at least in part, on the determination that the physical object has the surface that conforms with the surface property;
determining that at least part of the surface of the physical object is at least partially within a field of view of the head mounted display; and
causing display of at least part of information that is allocated to the virtual information region based, at least in part, on the environmental augmentation allocation data and the determination that at least part of the surface of the physical object is at least partially within the field of view of the head mounted display.

Abstract
A method including receiving augmentation allocation property data that includes data that correlates a virtual information region with at least one surface property, receiving information indicative of at least one physical object that is in a physical environment proximate to the head mounted display, determining that the physical object has a surface that conforms with the surface property, determining environmental augmentation allocation data that includes data that correlates the virtual information region with the surface of the physical object such that the environmental augmentation allocation data designates the surface of the physical object for display of a representation of information allocated to the virtual information region, determining that at least part of the surface of the physical object is at least partially within a field of view of the head mounted display, and causing display of at least part of information that is allocated to the virtual information region.

13. An apparatus comprising
at least one processor; - and
at least one memory including computer program code; the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform; receiving, by a head mounted display, augmentation allocation property data that comprises data that correlates a virtual information region with at least one surface property; receiving information indicative of at least one physical object that is in a physical environment proximate to the head mounted display; determining that the physical object has a surface that conforms with the surface property; determining environmental augmentation allocation data that comprises data that correlates the virtual information region with the surface of the physical object such that the environmental augmentation allocation data designates the surface of the physical object for display of a representation of information allocated to the virtual information region, the determination of the environmental augmentation allocation data being based, at least in part, on the determination that the physical object has the surface that conforms with the surface property; determining that at least part of the surface of the physical object is at least partially within a field of view of the head mounted display; and
causing display of at least part of information that is allocated to the virtual information region based, at least in part, on the environmental augmentation allocation data and the determination that at least part of the surface of the physical object is at least partially within the field of view of the head mounted display. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions stored thereon for performing at least the following:
-
receiving, by a head mounted display, augmentation allocation property data that comprises data that correlates a virtual information region with at least one surface property; receiving information indicative of at least one physical object that is in a physical environment proximate to the head mounted display; determining that the physical object has a surface that conforms with the surface property; determining environmental augmentation allocation data that comprises data that correlates the virtual information region with the surface of the physical object such that the environmental augmentation allocation data designates the surface of the physical object for display of a representation of information allocated to the virtual information region, the determination of the environmental augmentation allocation data being based, at least in part, on the determination that the physical object has the surface that conforms with the surface property; determining that at least part of the surface of the physical object is at least partially within a field of view of the head mounted display; and
causing display of at least part of information that is allocated to the virtual information region based, at least in part, on the environmental augmentation allocation data and the determination that at least part of the surface of the physical object is at least partially within the field of view of the head mounted display.
