1. A vehicle comprising a physical control comprising a first region, the physical control configured to control an operation of the vehicle and further configured to move with respect to an interior of the vehicle, the vehicle configured to communicate with a wearable device comprising a see-through display, wherein:
the wearable device is configured to present, via the see-through display, concurrently with presenting a view of the first region, virtual content to a user;
presenting the virtual content comprises:
at a first time, presenting via the see-through display a user interface element at a first position with respect to the first region and at a first position with respect to the interior of the vehicle, and
at a second time, in response to a movement of the physical control, presenting via the see-through display the user interface element at the first position with respect to the first region and at a second position with respect to the interior of the vehicle, a displacement between the first position with respect to the interior of the vehicle and the second position with respect to the interior of the vehicle corresponding to a movement of the physical control; and
the wearable device is further configured to generate a control command in response to an interaction of the user with the user interface element at the first position with respect to the first region.
