Abstract: A method includes sensing a plurality of light superposition characteristic values associated with ambient light from a physical environment. The ambient light emanates from the physical environment towards one side of a translucent display. The plurality of light superposition characteristic values quantifies interactions with the ambient light. The method includes determining a plurality of display correction values associated with the electronic device based on a function of the plurality of light superposition characteristic values and predetermined display characteristics of a computer-generated reality (CGR) object. The method includes changing one or more display operating parameters associated with the electronic device in accordance with the plurality of display correction values in order to satisfy the predetermined display characteristics of the CGR object within a performance threshold.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method includes presenting, via a display device, a first synthesized reality (SR) view of an event that includes SR content associated with the event. The SR content includes a plurality of related layers of SR content that perform actions associated with the event. The method includes detecting, via one or more input devices, selection of a respective layer among the plurality of related layers of SR content associated with the event. The method includes presenting, via the display device, a second SR view of the event that includes the respective layer of SR content in response to the selection of the respective layer. The second SR view corresponds to a point-of-view of the respective layer.

Abstract: A finger-mounted device may include finger-mounted units. The finger-mounted units may each have a body that serves as a support structure for components such as force sensors, accelerometers, and other sensors and for haptic output devices. The body may have sidewall portions coupled by a portion that rests adjacent to a user's fingernail. The body may be formed from deformable material such as metal or may be formed from adjustable structures such as sliding body portions that are coupled to each other using magnetic attraction, springs, or other structures. The body of each finger-mounted unit may have a U-shaped cross-sectional profile that leaves the finger pad of each finger exposed when the body is coupled to a fingertip of a user's finger. Control circuitry may gather finger press input, lateral finger movement input, and finger tap input using the sensors and may provide haptic output using the haptic output device.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method includes: instantiating a first objective-effectuator (OE) associated with first attributes and a second OE associated with second attributes into a synthesized reality (SR) setting, wherein the first OE is encapsulated within the second OE; providing a first objective to the first OE based on the first and second attributes; providing a second objective to the second OE based on the second attributes, wherein the first and second objectives are associated with a time period between a first and second temporal points; generating a first set of actions for the first OE based on the first objective and a second set of actions for the second OE based on the second objective; and rendering for display the SR setting for the time period including the first set of actions performed by the first OE and the second set of actions performed by the second OE.

Abstract: An electronic device: obtains pass-through image data characterizing a field of view captured by an image sensor; determines whether a recognized subject in the pass-through image data satisfies a confidence score threshold associated with a user-specific recommendation profile; generates one or more computer-generated reality (CGR) content items associated with the recognized subject in response to determining that the recognized subject in the pass-through image data satisfies the confidence score threshold; and composites the pass-through image data with the one or more CGR content items, where the one or more CGR content items are proximate to the recognized subject in the field of view.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to devices, systems, and methods for presenting a magnified view in an extended reality environment. Specifically, a magnified view includes a zoom reticle that is presented at a display location of a display. The zoom reticle includes magnified content that includes a magnified portion of a user's field of view. For example, the magnified content may be generated from image data selected from a corresponding portion of a field of view of a camera. The position of the zoom reticle on the display, as well as the portion of the field of view that is magnified, may vary in different circumstances such as described herein.
