Controlling virtual resources from within an augmented reality environment
Virtual resources can be controlled from within an augmented reality environment. For example, a computing device can display, in an augmented reality environment, a representation of a physical object corresponding to a virtual resource. The computing device can receive an interaction with the representation of the physical object in the augmented reality environment. The computing device can output a command to cause a result in the virtual resource external to the augmented reality environment based on the interaction.

receive, by the augmented reality system, an interaction with the physical object representation in the augmented reality environment, a text command associated with the interaction being configured to be displayed at a user interface of the computing device, the user interface being a command terminal; and
output, by the augmented reality system, a command to the computing device for causing a result in the virtualized computing resource external to the augmented reality environment based on the interaction, the result comprising a storage capacity adjustment, a powering on or off, or a creation or deletion of the virtualized computing resource.

determining the result based on a predefined mapping of interactions and results, wherein the predefined mapping includes the interaction.
10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
displaying, in the augmented reality environment, a representation of a relationship between the physical object representation and another physical object representation.
11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
