    Abstract: A method includes identifying remote devices, at a host device, based on received signals that indicate locations and device types for the remote devices. The method also includes identifying visible devices in images of a location and matching a first visible device to a first remote device. The first visible device is matched with the first remote device based on presence of the first visible device within a search area of the images, the search area of the images is determined based on the location for the first remote device, the first visible device is matched with the first remote device based on the device type for the first remote device, and the first visible device is matched with the first remote device based on a machine recognizable indicator that is output by the first visible device. The method also includes pairing the first remote device with the host device.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a method for invoking a writing surface. The method includes: detecting a physical plane within an image stream of a physical environment, wherein the image stream is associated with a field-of-view (FOV) of the one or more exterior-facing image sensors; in response to detecting the physical plane within the image stream: obtaining pose values for the physical plane; and presenting, at a first location, an extended reality (XR) surface provided to display marks, wherein the first location is based on the pose values for the physical plane; and in response to movement of the physical plane, maintaining presentation of the XR surface at the first location.

    Abstract: A device for providing operating system managed group communication sessions may include a memory and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to receive, by an operating system level process executing on a device and from an application process executing on a device, a request to initiate a group session between a user associated with the device and another user. The at least one processor may be further configured to identify, by the operating system level process, another device associated with the other user. The at least one processor may be further configured to initiate, by the operating system level process, the group session with the user via the other device. The at least one processor may be further configured to manage, by the operating system level process, the group session.

    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that track a movement of an input device. For example, an example process may include determine a pose of a tracking device in a physical environment based on first sensor data from an image sensor. The process then may receive, from the tracking device, first positional data corresponding to a first relative positioning between the tracking device and an input device in the physical environment, where the first positional data is determined based on second sensor data obtained via a sensor on the tracking device. The process then may track movement of the input device in the physical environment based at least in part on the first positional data and the pose of the tracking device. The process then may determine an input for the electronic device based at least in part on tracking the movement of the input device.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining a location and a device type for one or more remote devices, and identifying one or more visible devices in one or more images, the one or more visible devices having a location and a device type. The method also includes matching a first visible device from the one or more visible devices with a first remote device from the one or more remote devices based on a location and a device type of the first visible device matching a location and a device type of the first remote device, obtaining a user input, and controlling a function of the first remote device based on the user input.

    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that determine the relative positioning (e.g., offset) between a mobile electronic device and a visual marker. In some implementations, the determined relative positioning and a known position of the visual marker are used to determine a position (e.g., geo coordinates) of the mobile electronic device that is more accurate than existing techniques. In some implementations, the determined relative positioning is used with a position of the mobile electronic device to crowd source the stored position of the visual marker. In some implementations, the determined relative positioning and a position of the visual marker are used to determine a position of an object detected in an image by the mobile electronic device. In some implementations at an electronic device having a processor, locally-determined locations of a visual marker are received from mobile electronic devices that scan a visual marker.
