Displaying a window in an augmented reality view
For displaying a window in an augmented reality view, a processor detects a new augmented reality placetime that includes a new augmented reality position and/or a new augmented reality time of an augmented reality device. The processor calculates new window characteristics for a window at the new augmented reality placetime based on previous window characteristics. The processor further displays the window with the new window characteristics.

detect a new AR placetime in response to detecting a new person in an environment of the AR device;
calculate new window characteristics for a window of the new AR placetime based on the window preferences; and
display the window with the new window characteristics.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the code is further executable by the processor to record a plurality of previous window characteristics for the plurality of previous window instances.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the code is further executable by the processor to:
query a user to reposition the window; and
