This disclosure describes embodiments of methods, non-transitory computer-readable media, and systems for detecting that a physical space includes a physical object corresponding to an analogous virtual object from an augmented reality experience and rendering (or otherwise modifying) the augment reality experience to integrate the physical object as part of the experience. In particular, the disclosed systems can determine that a physical object within a physical environment corresponds to an analogous virtual object of an augmented reality experience. Based on this correspondence, the disclosed systems can modify one or more of the virtual graphics, sound, or other features corresponding to the augmented reality experience to represent the virtual object using the physical object. For example, the disclosed systems can modify acoustic features of a sound for the augmented reality experience to simulate the sound originating from (or being affected by) the physical object.
