A method for generating virtual content for presentation in an AR system includes, under control of a hardware processor included in the AR system, analyzing pose data to identify a pose of a user of the AR system. The method also includes identifying a physical object in a 3D physical environment of the user based at least partly on the pose. The method further includes responsive to detecting a first gesture, presenting a first type of virtual content in a display of the AR system. Moreover, the method includes responsive to detecting a second gesture, presenting a pod user interface virtual construct comprising a navigable menu. In addition, the method includes responsive to detecting a selection of an application through the navigable menu, rendering, in the display of the AR system, within the pod user interface virtual construct, the particular application in a 3D view to the user.
