Abstract: Various implementations provide a method for determining position data of a first device relative to a three-dimensional (3D) representation during a communication session. For example, a 3D representation is determined by a first device to correspond to a current physical environment of the first device. Then a spatial relationship is determined between the 3D representation and the current physical environment. Then position data is determined to correspond to a position of the first device relative to the 3D representation and based on a location of the first device in the current physical environment and the spatial relationship between the 3D representation and the current physical environment. The position data is then provided during a communication session between the first device and a second device with a view of the 3D representation including a representation of a user of the first device presented to a user of the second device.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that generate a 3D representation of a physical environment by generating a point cloud and selectively replacing some of the points. For example, points representing flat surfaces (e.g., walls and ceilings) may be replaced with planar elements that are “painted” using image data. In contrast, points representing non-flat portions (e.g. furniture, curtains, wall hangings, etc.) are left as points in the model or altered in a different way. Selectively altering the 3D representation may provide (a) a cleaner feeling and/or (b) a more compact 3D representation for more efficient and faster communication and/or rendering.

Abstract: In some examples, a first electronic device presents a computer-generated environment, the first electronic device being at a first location relative to a first origin in a first physical environment of a user of the first electronic device, and having a first orientation relative to the first origin. In some examples, the first electronic device detects a request to display a portal through which to visually communicate with a user of the second electronic device, the second electronic device being at a second location relative to a second origin in a second physical environment of the user of the second electronic device and having a second orientation relative to the second origin. In some examples, in response to the request, the first electronic device displays a portal including a representation of the user of the second electronic device that is oriented based on the second location and the second orientation.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that generate 2D views of a 3D environment using a 3D point cloud where the cloud points selected for each view are based on a low-resolution 3D mesh. In some implementations, a 3D point cloud of a physical environment is obtained, the 3D point cloud including points each having a 3D location and representing an appearance of a portion of the physical environment. Then, a 3D mesh is obtained corresponding to the 3D point cloud, and a 2D view of the 3D point cloud from a viewpoint is generated using a subset of the points of the 3D point cloud, where the subset of points is selected based on the 3D mesh.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that enable a first device to obtain two-dimensional (2D) content referenced by a webpage and a second device in communication with the first device to display 3D content referenced by the webpage. In an example, it is detected that the webpage references 3D content associated with 2D content and detected that a second device, capable of displaying the 3D content referenced by the webpage, is linked to or in communication with the first device. In one example, the second device receives input corresponding to a user selection to view the 3D content, and in response, displays an 3D environment including the 3D content.
