    Abstract: In a system for generating visual cues in response to detection of virtual object(s) within as defined proximity and/or area of a user in an augmented and/or virtual reality environment, the system may generate a visual cue if it is determined that a detected virtual object is not physically present in the ambient environment, and may be incorrectly interpreted by the user as capable of providing physical support. The visual cues may include changes in appearance of the detected virtual object, such as eliminating the virtual rendering of the virtual object from the virtual environment displayed by the user, presenting the virtual object in a transparent/translucent, shadowed, highlighted, outlined manner, and the like. When the virtual object is no longer detected within the defined proximity and/or area relative to the user, the system may restore the appearance of the virtual object.
