Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for selecting a point-of-view (POV) for displaying an environment. In some implementations, a device includes a display, one or more processors, and a non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a request to display a graphical environment. The graphical environment is associated with a set of saliency values corresponding to respective portions of the graphical environment. A POV for displaying the graphical environment is selected based on the set of saliency values. The graphical environment is displayed from the selected POV on the display.

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 scanning a first physical environment to detect a first physical object in the first physical environment and a second physical object in the first physical environment, wherein the first physical object meets at least one first object criterion and the second physical object meets at least one second object criterion. The method includes displaying, in association with the first physical environment, a virtual object moving along a first path from the first physical object to the second physical object. The method includes scanning a second physical environment to detect a third physical object in the second physical environment and a fourth physical object in the second physical environment, wherein the third physical object meets the at least one first object criterion and the fourth physical object meets the at least one second object criterion. The method includes displaying, in association with the second physical environment, the virtual object moving along a second path from the third physical object to the fourth physical object, wherein the second path is different than the first path.

Abstract: According to various implementations, a method is performed at an electronic device including one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a display. The method includes displaying, on the display, a virtual agent that is associated with a first viewing frustum. The first viewing frustum includes a user avatar associated with a user, and the user avatar includes a visual representation of one or more eyes. The method includes, while displaying the virtual agent associated with the first viewing frustum, obtaining eye tracking data that is indicative of eye behavior associated with an eye of the user, updating the visual representation of one or more eyes based on the eye behavior, and directing the virtual agent to perform an action based on the updating and scene information associated with the electronic device.

Abstract: In some implementations, a method includes displaying, on a display, an environment that includes a representation of a virtual agent that is associated with a sensory characteristic. In some implementations, the method includes selecting, based on the sensory characteristic associated with the virtual agent, a subset of a plurality of sensors to provide sensor data for the virtual agent. In some implementations, the method includes providing the sensor data captured by the subset of the plurality of sensors to the virtual agent in order to reduce power consumption of the device. In some implementations, the method includes displaying a manipulation of the representation of the virtual agent based on an interpretation of the sensor data by the virtual agent.
