1. A method for virtual environment manipulation by detection of physical objects, the method comprising:

  • projecting an infrared pattern onto a physical environment having a physical object;

    capturing an infrared image of the physical environment using an infrared camera;

    detecting, in the infrared image, an infrared distortion caused by at least a portion of the physical object, the at least portion of the physical object comprising patterned materials affecting an infrared light;

    modifying a virtual environment based on the infrared distortion caused by the patterned materials affecting the infrared light; and

    rendering the modified virtual environment on a display.
