Mapping augmented reality experience to various environments

An augmented reality (AR) experience is mapped to various environments. A three-dimensional data model that describes a scene of an environment, and a description of the AR experience, are input. The AR experience description includes a set of digital content that is to be mapped into the scene, and a set of constraints that defines attributes of the digital content when it is mapped into the scene. The 3D data model is analyzed to detect affordances in the scene, where this analysis generates a list of detected affordances. The list of detected affordances and the set of constraints are used to solve for a mapping of the set of digital content into the scene that substantially satisfies the set of constraints. The AR experience is also mapped to changing environments.
