1. A method of controlling a personal mobility system, comprising:
displaying a virtual object on an augmented reality wearable device, the virtual object being located in a position in a field of view of the augmented reality device corresponding to a position in the real world, wherein the position in the real world is in a location in a frame of reference in an environment in which the personal mobility system is located;
detecting proximity of the personal mobility system or a user of the personal mobility system with the position in the real world; and
in response to the detection of proximity, modifying a performance characteristic of the personal mobility system,
the method further comprising:
in response to the detection of proximity, transferring the virtual object from the location in the frame of reference in the environment to a location in a frame of reference fixed to at least part of the personal mobility system; and
delaying modifying the performance characteristic of the personal mobility system until an intersection of the user of the personal mobility system with the location in the frame of reference fixed to at least part of the personal mobility system is detected.
