Abstract

Claims (67)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

identifying, by one or more computer processors, content within a request to display a holographic object to be moved to a holographic object;

determining, by one or more computer processors, the content includes confidential information;

requesting, by one or more computer processors, authentication from the user;

receiving, by one or more computer processors, the authentication from the user;

creating, by one or more computer processors, a holographic boundary, wherein the holographic boundary only blocks a portion of the holographic object that contains the confidential information from being viewed by one or more unauthorized users;

displaying, by one or more computer processors, the holographic boundary;

displaying, by one or more computer processors, the holographic object in association with the device;

determining, by one or more computer processors, a power availability and a power usage of the device;

determining, by one or more computer processors, the power availability of the device is not sufficient to display the holographic object and the holographic boundary; and

responsive to the power availability of the device not being sufficient to display the holographic object and the holographic boundary, adjusting, by one or more computer processors, one or more display parameters associated with the holographic boundary.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

masking, by one or more computer processors, the confidential information;

creating, by one or more computer processors, the holographic object with the masked confidential information; and

displaying, by one or more computer processors, the holographic object with the masked confidential information.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more display parameters include a size of the holographic boundary, a shape of the holographic boundary, a texture of the holographic boundary, and a thickness of the holographic boundary.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein requesting the authentication from the user further comprises:

requesting, by one or more computer processors, the user to act as if the user is touching the holographic object in order to provide a fingerprint of the user.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein requesting the authentication from the user further comprises:

requesting, by one or more computer processors, a fingerprint of the user; and

requesting, by one or more computer processors, a signal from a wearable device of the user.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the holographic object in association with the device further comprises:

displaying, by one or more computer processors, the holographic object in midair, above a surface of the device.

7. A computer program product comprising:

one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the stored program instructions comprising:

program instructions to identify content within a request to display a holographic object to be moved to a holographic object; program instructions to determine the content includes confidential information; program instructions to request authentication from the user;

program instructions to receive the authentication from the user;

program instructions to create a holographic boundary, wherein the holographic boundary only blocks a portion of the holographic object that contains the confidential information from being viewed by one or more unauthorized users;

program instructions to display the holographic boundary;

program instructions to display the holographic object in association with the device;

program instructions to determine, by one or more computer processors, a power availability and a power usage of the device;

program instructions to determine, by one or more computer processors, the power availability of the device is not sufficient to display the holographic object and the holographic boundary; and

responsive to the power availability of the device not being sufficient to display the holographic object and the holographic boundary, program instructions to adjust, by one or more computer processors, one or more display parameters associated with the holographic boundary.

8. The computer program product of claim 7 , the stored program instructions further comprising:

program instructions to mask the confidential information;

program instructions to create the holographic object with the masked confidential information; and

program instructions to display the holographic object with the masked confidential information.

9. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the one or more display parameters include a size of the holographic boundary, a shape of the holographic boundary, a texture of the holographic boundary, and a thickness of the holographic boundary.

10. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the program instructions to request the authentication from the user comprise:

program instructions to request the user to act as if the user is touching the holographic object in order to provide a fingerprint of the user.

11. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the program instructions to request the authentication from the user comprise:

program instructions to request a fingerprint of the user; and

program instructions to request a signal from a wearable device of the user.

12. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the program instructions to display the holographic object in association with the device comprise:

program instructions to display the holographic object in midair, above a surface of the device.

13. A computer system comprising: one or more computer processors;

one or more computer readable storage media;

program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the stored program instructions comprising:

program instructions to identify content within a request to display a holographic object to be moved to a holographic object; program instructions to determine the content includes confidential information; program instructions to request authentication from the user;

program instructions to receive the authentication from the user;

program instructions to create a holographic boundary, wherein the holographic boundary only blocks a portion of the holographic object that contains the confidential information from being viewed by one or more unauthorized users;

program instructions to display the holographic boundary;

program instructions to display the holographic object in association with the device;

program instructions to determine, by one or more computer processors, a power availability and a power usage of the device;

program instructions to determine, by one or more computer processors, the power availability of the device is not sufficient to display the holographic object and the holographic boundary; and

responsive to the power availability of the device not being sufficient to display the holographic object and the holographic boundary, program instructions to adjust, by one or more computer processors, one or more display parameters associated with the holographic boundary.

14. The computer system of claim 13 , the stored program instructions further comprising:

program instructions to mask the confidential information;

program instructions to create the holographic object with the masked confidential information; and

program instructions to display the holographic object with the masked confidential information.

15. The computer system of claim 13 , wherein the program instructions to request the authentication from the user comprise:
