determining, in the mixed reality environment, a collision between the first object and the second object, wherein the collision is determined based on the determined position of the second object;
determining an attribute associated with the collision;
determining, based on the attribute, an audio signal corresponding to the collision, wherein the determining the audio signal comprises:
generating a MIDI parameter based on the attribute; and
determining, via a sound engine, the audio signal based on the MIDI parameter; and
presenting to the user, via the speaker, the audio signal.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the collision is determined further based on a position of the first object and a velocity of the first object.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the attribute comprises a pitch associated with one or more of the first object and the second object, and the audio signal is determined further based on the pitch.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the attribute comprises a material associated with one or more of the first object and the second object, and the audio signal is determined further based on an acoustic property of the material.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the wearable head device comprises a display, and the method further comprises presenting, concurrently on the display, a view of the first object and a view of the second object.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises:
identifying a third object in the mixed reality environment;
generating, in the mixed reality environment, a third virtual object corresponding to the third object;
identifying, in the mixed reality environment, a collision between the first object and the third object;
determining a second attribute associated with the collision between the first object and the third object;
determining, based on the second attribute, a second audio signal corresponding to the collision between the first object and the third object; and
presenting to the user, via the speaker, the second audio signal.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the determining the attribute comprises determining the attribute based on an output of the sensor.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
identifying a first object in a mixed reality environment;
identifying a second object in the mixed reality environment, wherein one or more of the first object and the second object comprises a virtual object;
determining, via a sensor of a wearable head device, a position of the second object in a coordinate space associated with a user;
determining, in the mixed reality environment, a collision between the first object and the second object, wherein the collision is determined based on the determined position of the second object;
determining an attribute associated with the collision;
