Claim 12:
13. A computer-implemented method for incorporating a real object at varying depths within a rendered three-dimensional architectural design space, the method executed on one or more computer processors, the method comprising:
receiving captured data from a real environment, wherein the real environment comprises at least one real object within a physical architectural space;
extracting the at least one real object from the captured data from the real environment;
providing a rendered three-dimensional architectural design space comprising one or more virtual architectural components, wherein each virtual architectural component is designed to coordinate with the physical architectural space;
projecting the captured data from the real environment on a first plane within the rendered three-dimensional architectural design space; and
projecting the extracted at least one real object on at least one additional plane within the rendered three-dimensional architectural design space, the at least one additional plane being positioned such that the projected at least one real object is properly occluded within the rendered three-dimensional architectural design space.
