1. A method comprising:
determining that a user is viewing three-dimensional holographic content generated for display at a location in a physical space by a display device, wherein the location in the physical space is separate from a screen of the display device;
determining a visual focus point of the user on a portion of the three-dimensional holographic content using at least two optical sensors arranged to form a stereo vision system for obtaining a three-dimensional position of the user's eyes;
detecting that the visual focus point of the user shifts away from the portion of the three-dimensional holographic content using the at least two optical sensors; and
moving the three-dimensional holographic content within the physical space to account for the shifted visual focus point, wherein a new location of the three-dimensional holographic content is separate from the screen of the display device.
