Claim:
1. A method for presenting three dimensional (3D) virtual content via a 3D stereoscopic display, comprising: determining a size and a shape of a coupled zone of a 3D stereoscopic display, wherein the 3D stereoscopic display presents a virtual 3D space to a user, and wherein the coupled zone comprises a physical volume specified by the user's visual depth of field with respect to screen position of the 3D stereoscopic display and a point of view (POV) of the user, wherein the physical volume corresponds to at least a portion of the virtual 3D space; displaying the 3D virtual content at a first position in the virtual 3D space relative to the POV of the user in the virtual 3D space, wherein the first position corresponds to a position within the coupled zone; determining that the 3D virtual content is not contained in the coupled zone or is within a specified distance from a boundary of the coupled zone, comprising determining that the 3D virtual content is moving within the coupled zone at a rate; and adjusting, in response to said determining, display of the 3D virtual content in the virtual 3D space such that the 3D virtual content has a second position in the virtual 3D space that corresponds to another position within the coupled zone, comprising:
