I haven't seen anyone ask or discuss this (I could be wrong.)

How spatially aware is the AVP?

For example, let's say you're in a bedroom. You pin a window above the bed.

1. What happens if you walk behind the window? Do you still see the content? Is it blurred, blacked out? What happens?
2. If you leave the room, can you still see the window hovering in the distance, or does it get occluded by the walls and the door?
3. If you peek inside the door, will the window be partially visible?

Can someone who has the AVP chime in? I'm very curious how Apple handled this.
 
It seems totally spatially aware. You can walk behind the screen and see the results and see the backside of the screen. If you move into another room, then the screen gets over laid in a semi transparent view on the wall that’s between you and the screen so it maintains that spatial orientation no matter where you move in the house so you can always find your windows and if you need to, press and hold the crown and it will bring all your windows back to where you are presently. if you peek inside the door yes, the window will be partially visible.
