1. A method comprising:
accessing, by an augmented reality (AR) device, movement data comprising inertial measurement data and camera data;
determining three-dimensional (3D) movement of the AR device based on the movement data;
presenting, by the AR device, an AR object on a real-world environment being viewed using the AR device;
in response to determining the 3D movement of the AR device, modifying the AR object by the AR device;
determining, based on the movement data, that a given movement of the AR device in a particular vertical height transgresses a threshold height and a threshold rate at which the particular vertical height is reached; and
in response to determining that the given movement in the particular vertical height transgresses the threshold height and the threshold rate at which the particular vertical height is reached, selecting a movement style of the AR object.
