    Abstract: An electronic device that is in communication with one or more wearable audio output devices detects occurrence of an event while the one or more wearable audio output devices are being worn by a user. In response to detecting the occurrence of the event, the electronic device outputs, via the one or more wearable audio output devices, one or more audio notifications corresponding to the event, including: in accordance with a determination that the user of the electronic device is currently engaged in a conversation, delaying outputting the one or more audio notifications corresponding to the event until the conversation has ended; and, in accordance with a determination that the user of the electronic device is not currently engaged in a conversation, outputting the one or more audio notifications corresponding to the event without delaying the outputting.

    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods that facilitate learning a language in an extended reality (XR) environment. This may involve identifying objects or activities in the environment, identifying a context associated with the user or the environment, and providing language teaching content based on the objects, activities, or contexts. In one example, the language teaching content provides individual words, phrases, or sentences corresponding to the objects, activities, or contexts. In another example, the language teaching content requests user interaction (e.g., via quiz questions or educational games) corresponding to the objects, activities, or contexts. Context may be used to determine whether or how to provide the language teaching content. For example, based on a user's current course of language study (e.g., this week's vocabulary list), corresponding object or activities may be identified in the environment for use in providing the language teaching content.

    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that determine that a user is interested in audio content by determining that a movement (e.g., a user's head bob) has a time-based relationship with detected audio content (e.g., the beat of music playing in the background). Some implementations involve obtaining first sensor data and second sensor data corresponding to a physical environment, the first sensor data corresponding to audio in the physical environment and the second sensor data corresponding to a body movement in the physical environment. A time-based relationship between one or more elements of the audio and one or more aspects of the body movement is identified based on the first sensor data and the second sensor data. An interest in content of the audio is identified based on identifying the time-based relationship. Various actions may be performed proactively based on identifying the interest in the content.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure includes techniques and user interfaces for interacting with virtual objects in an extended reality environment. In some embodiments, the techniques and user interfaces are for interacting with virtual objects in an extended reality environment, including repositioning virtual objects relative to the environment. In some embodiments, the techniques and user interfaces are for interacting with virtual objects, in an extended reality environment, including virtual objects that aid a user in navigating within the environment. In some embodiments, the techniques and user interfaces are for interacting with virtual objects, including objects displayed based on changes in a field-of-view of a user, in an extended reality environment, including repositioning virtual objects relative to the environment. In some embodiments, the techniques and user interfaces are for interacting with virtual objects in an extended reality environment, including virtual objects that provide a different perspective on the environment.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a method of storing object information in association with contextual information is performed at a device including an image sensor, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes capturing, using the image sensor, an image of an environment. The method includes detecting a user engagement with an object in the environment based on the image of the environment. The method includes, in response to detecting the user engagement with the object, obtaining information regarding the object, obtaining contextual information, and storing, in a database, an entry including the information regarding the object in association with the contextual information.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a method of displaying text suggestions is performed at a device including an input device, a display, an image sensor, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes obtaining, using the image sensor, one or more images of a physical environment. The method includes obtaining one or more semantic labels associated with the physical environment based on the one or more images of the physical environment. The method includes receiving, via the input device, text. The method includes determining one or more text suggestions based on the one or more semantic labels associated with the physical environment and the text. The method includes displaying, on the display, the one or more text suggestions.
