Abstract: In one implementation, a method of displaying content is performed at a device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes displaying, in a first area, a first content pane including first content including a link to second content. The method includes, while displaying the first content pane in the first area, receiving a user input selecting the link to the second content and indicating a second area separate from the first area and not displaying a content pane. The method includes, in response to receiving the user input selecting the link to the second content and indicating the second area, displaying, in the second area, a second content pane including the second content.

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: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for determining a placement of virtual objects in a collection of virtual objects when changing from a first viewing arrangement to a second viewing arrangement based on their respective positions in one of the viewing arrangements. In some implementations, a method includes displaying a set of virtual objects in a first viewing arrangement in a first region of an environment. The set of virtual objects are arranged in a first spatial arrangement. A user input corresponding to a request to change to a second viewing arrangement in a second region of the environment is obtained. A mapping is determined between the first spatial arrangement and a second spatial arrangement based on spatial relationships between the set of virtual objects. The set of virtual objects is displayed in the second viewing arrangement in the second region of the environment.

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 for organizing virtual objects within an environment. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a user input corresponding to a command to associate a virtual object with a region of an environment. A gaze input corresponding to a user focus location in the region is detected. A movement of the virtual object to an object placement location proximate the user focus location is displayed.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device emphasizes and/or deemphasizes user interfaces based on the gaze of a user. In some embodiments, an electronic device defines levels of immersion for different user interfaces independently of one another. In some embodiments, an electronic device resumes display of a user interface at a previously-displayed level of immersion after (e.g., temporarily) reducing the level of immersion associated with the user interface. In some embodiments, an electronic device allows objects, people, and/or portions of an environment to be visible through a user interface displayed by the electronic device. In some embodiments, an electronic device reduces the level of immersion associated with a user interface based on characteristics of the electronic device and/or physical environment of the electronic device.

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: In one implementation, a method for displaying a first pairing affordance that is world-locked to a first peripheral device. The method may be performed by an electronic device including a non-transitory memory, one or more processors, a display, and one or more input devices. The method includes detecting the first peripheral device within a three-dimensional (3D) environment via a computer vision technique. The method includes receiving, via the one or more input devices, a first user input that is directed to the first peripheral device within the 3D environment. The method includes, in response to receiving the first user input, displaying, on the display, the first pairing affordance that is world-locked to the first peripheral device within the 3D environment.
