Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that enable faster and more efficient real-time physical object recognition, information retrieval, and updating of a CGR environment. In some implementations, the CGR environment is provided at a first device based on a classification of the physical object, image or video data including the physical object is transmitted by the first device to a second device, and the CGR environment is updated by the first device based on a response associated with the physical object received from the second device.
