1. A method for adaptively configuring one or more interaction zones within an augmented reality environment including a real environment augmented and at least one virtual feature, the method comprising: an interaction zone including at least one virtual feature, real environment compatibility criteria for the at least one virtual feature, space dimensions and activation criteria for the at least one virtual feature; automatically selecting one or more interaction zone candidates based on one or more real environment features of the real environment satisfying real environment compatibility criteria for each candidate being identified in a (3D) mapping of the augmented reality environment; automatically selecting one or more interaction zones which satisfy zone compatibility criteria for configuration within the augmented reality environment from the one or more candidates; updating the 3D mapping with 3D space position data for the one or more interaction zones selected for configuration in the augmented reality environment; and displaying at least one virtual feature of at least one of the selected interaction zones by a near-eye, augmented reality display responsive to application execution criteria being satisfied, and the at least one virtual feature being within a display field of view of the near-eye, augmented reality display.
