A method of operating a computer peripheral device in an augmented workstation environment, the method comprising: receiving polling data from one or more sensors, the polling data corresponding to physical characteristics of a physical environment around the computer peripheral device ; determining an area to orient a projected virtual display relative to the computer peripheral device ; determining a second area to orient a virtual interactive display relative to the computer peripheral device based on the physical characteristics of the physical environment and the location of the computer peripheral device , wherein the virtual interactive display is configured to facilitate an augmentation of functional capabilities of the computer peripheral device and is configured on a different plane than the computer peripheral device ; determining a spatial relationship between the computer peripheral device and the projected virtual display; and generating control data configured to cause an AR/VR-based head-mounted display, HMD, to: p roject the virtual display in the determined area at a maintained spatial relationship between the computer peripheral device and the projected virtual display as the computer peripheral device moves within the physical environment; and p roject the virtual interactive display in the determined second area and at a maintained spatial relationship between the computer peripheral device and the projected virtual interactive display as the computer peripheral device moves in the physical environment. receiving polling data from one or more sensors, the polling data corresponding to physical characteristics of a physical environment around the computer peripheral device ; determining an area to orient a projected virtual display relative to the computer peripheral device ; determining a second area to orient a virtual interactive display relative to the computer peripheral device based on the physical characteristics of the physical environment and the location of the computer peripheral device , wherein the virtual interactive display is configured to facilitate an augmentation of functional capabilities of the computer peripheral device and is configured on a different plane than the computer peripheral device ; determining a spatial relationship between the computer peripheral device and the projected virtual display; and generating control data configured to cause an AR/VR-based head-mounted display, HMD, to: p roject the virtual display in the determined area at a maintained spatial relationship between the computer peripheral device and the projected virtual display as the computer peripheral device moves within the physical environment; and p roject the virtual interactive display in the determined second area and at a maintained spatial relationship between the computer peripheral device and the projected virtual interactive display as the computer peripheral device moves in the physical environment. p roject the virtual display in the determined area at a maintained spatial relationship between the computer peripheral device and the projected virtual display as the computer peripheral device moves within the physical environment; and p roject the virtual interactive display in the determined second area and at a maintained spatial relationship between the computer peripheral device and the projected virtual interactive display as the computer peripheral device moves in the physical environment. <EOS>
