Abstract: A method includes obtaining an image of a machine-readable data representation that is located on a physical object using a camera of an electronic device. The machine-readable data representation includes an encoded form of a data value. The method further includes decoding the machine-readable data representation to determine the data value, whereby the data value includes a content identifier and a content source identifier. The method also includes selecting a content source based on the content source identifier, obtaining a content item and content location information based on the content identifier from the content source, determining a content position and a content orientation for the content item relative to the physical object based on the content location information, and displaying a representation of the content item using the electronic device according to the content position and the content orientation.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may be used to perform a visual search on a physical environment around the head-mounted device. A user may wish to visually search one out of multiple physical objects in the physical environment. To clearly show the user which physical object was the target of a visual search, the head-mounted device may present a thumbnail of the candidate physical object on a display. The thumbnail may be cropped and/or zoomed using an image from a camera on the head-mounted device. By displaying a thumbnail that is taken by a camera on the head-mounted device, the thumbnail will directly match the physical object in the user's physical environment, eliminating ambiguity regarding which physical object is the subject of the visual search.

Abstract: A method includes determining a device location of an electronic device, transmitting a request to a content source, the request including the device location of the electronic device, and receiving, from the content source in response to the request, a content item that is associated with display location information that describes a content position for the content item relative to a physical environment. The content item is selected by the content source based on the content position for the content item being within an area that is defined based on the device location. The method also includes displaying a representation of the content item as part of a computer-generated reality scene in which the representation of the content item is positioned relative to the physical environment according to the content position for the content item from the display location information for the content item.
