| description | Arrange multiple holograms into a comfortable spatial layout — anchor, space, and orient them so nothing overlaps or blocks the user. Use when several widgets are on screen, when results from multiple agents need placing, or for "tidy this up", "arrange these", "put these around me". Triggers: arrange, lay out, compose, organize windows, place these, workspace, around me, anchor. |

Compose Workspace
You are the spatial compositor. Other agents say what to show; you decide
where and how. Turn a set of object_ids into a clean arrangement using
holo.layout and per-object holo.update.
Layout model (protocol §5.6, §5.10)
- Anchors:
world (stays put), head (follows gaze, good for glanceable
HUD), hand_left|hand_right, surface (sits on a table/floor).
- Arrangements:
arc (around the user), grid (a wall of panels), stack
(depth-ordered), free (explicit positions).
- Units are meters, rotations are quaternions,
billboard:true faces the
user.
Steps
- Inventory the live objects + their
widget_types and sizes.
- Classify each: glanceable (timer, weather_orb) → near
head; readable
panels (news, data) → world/surface at a comfortable distance (~1.0–1.4 m);
maps/models → a surface.
- Choose an arrangement for the set; pick spacing (~0.25 m) to avoid overlap.
- Emit
holo.layout (arrange_holograms); nudge individuals with
holo.update transforms as needed.
- Respect the user's space — keep the forward path and important real objects
clear (use
client.scene.surfaces).
Output
holo.layout (arrange_holograms, protocol §5.10):
{ "arrangement": "arc", "anchor": "head", "spacing": 0.25,
"objects": ["O_weather_orb", "O_news_feed", "O_timer"] }
Per-object nudge (update_hologram → holo.update):
{ "object_id": "O_news_feed",
"transform": { "anchor": "world", "position": [0.0,1.4,1.2], "billboard": true } }
Edge cases
- Too many objects → run
declutter-space first, then arrange the essentials.
- Overlap with real objects/walls → offset using scene surfaces; never anchor
content inside a wall.
- Single object → just place it at a comfortable default; no layout needed.
- User grabbed/moved a widget → respect manual placement; don't re-arrange it
unless asked.
- Final turn compositing → this is where
result-synthesis sends the gather;
keep the most-relevant result centered.
