A couple of weeks ago, Fredrik Johnsson from Varberg Municipality in Sweden, asked me a question: "Why does my model follow me like a dog?".

When we position AR objects under the ground (or behind wall), we mentally cannot place them correctly into the real world. Watch this video that shows the effect, explains why it is happening, and suggests a couple of solutions:
