    Abstract: In accordance with various implementations, a method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a display. The method includes determining an engagement score associated with an object that is visible at the display. The engagement score characterizes a level of user engagement with respect to the object. The method includes, in response to determining that the engagement score satisfies an engagement criterion, determining an ambience vector associated with the object and presenting content based on the ambience vector. The ambience vector represents a target ambient environment.

    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that create a 3D video that includes determining first adjustments (e.g., first transforms) to video frames (e.g., one or more RGB images and depth images per frame) to align content in a coordinate system to remove the effects of capturing camera motion. Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that playback a 3D video and includes determining second adjustments (e.g., second transforms) to remove the effects of movement of a viewing electronic device relative to a viewing environment during playback of the 3D video. Some implementations distinguish static content and moving content of the video frames to playback only moving objects or facilitate concurrent playback of multiple spatially related 3D videos. The 3D video may include images, audio, or 3D video of a video-capture-device user.

    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that detects user interactions with a content object of a set of views of a three-dimensional (3D) environment and provides a different set of views with a different positional constraint. For example, an example process may include associating a content object with a region of a physical environment, providing a first set of views of the physical environment, wherein the content object is displayed using a first positional constraint when included in the first set of views, detecting an interaction associated with the region of the physical environment, and in accordance with detecting the interaction, providing a second set of views of the physical environment, wherein the content object is displayed using a second positional constraint when included in the second set of views, the second positional constraint different than the first positional constraint.

    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that generate and share/transmit a 3D representation of a physical environment during a communication session. Some of the elements (e.g., points) of the 3D representation may be replaced to improve the quality and/or efficiency of the modeling and transmitting processes. A user's device may provide a view and/or feedback during a scan of the physical environment during the communication session to facilitate accurate understanding of what is being transmitted. Additional information, e.g., a second representation of a portion of the physical environment, may also be transmitted during a communication session. The second representations may represent an aspect (e.g., more details, photo quality images, live, etc.) of a portion not represented by the 3D representation.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a method for dynamically determining presentation and transitional regions for content delivery. The method includes obtaining a first set of characteristics associated with a physical environment; and detecting a request to cause presentation of virtual content. In response to detecting the request, the method also includes obtaining a second set of characteristics associated with the virtual content; generating a presentation region for the virtual content based at least in part on the first and second sets of characteristics; and generating a transitional region provided to at least partially surround the presentation region based at least in part on the first and second sets of characteristics. The method further includes concurrently presenting the virtual content within the presentation region and the transitional region at least partially surrounding the presentation region.

    Abstract: Various implementations provide a representation of at least a portion of a user within a three-dimensional (3D) environment other than the user's physical environment. Based on detecting a condition, a representation of another object of the user's physical environment is shown to provide context. As examples, a representation of a sitting surface may be shown based on detecting that the user is sitting down, representations of a table and coffee cup may be shown based on detecting that the user is reaching out to pick up a coffee cup, a representation of a second user may be shown based on detecting a voice or the user turning his attention towards a moving object or sound, and a depiction of a puppy may be shown when the puppy's bark is detected.
