Abstract

See full text

In various embodiments, methods and systems for determining a forward direction for augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) are provided. A sideways vector and an up vector are measured by an AR/VR device. A cross product of the sideways vector and the up vector is calculated to obtain a forward vector. An indication from a user of the AR/VR device is received to perform an action in a forward direction and the action in the forward direction is performed in a direction of the forward vector. For example, a user can move in an AR/VR environment in the forward direction or a user interface can be provided in the AR/VR environment in the forward direction.
