    Abstract: Various implementations present a representation of a communication session involving multiple devices in different presentation modes based on spatial transforms between a physical environment and the representation of the communication session. For example, a representation of a communication session is presented based on the position of a first device within a first physical environment and a second spatial transform between the first physical environment and the representation of the communication session, in accordance with a determination to switch the first presentation mode to a second presentation mode. Then the representation of the communication session is presented based on the position of the first device within the first physical environment and the first spatial transform in accordance with a determination to switch the second presentation mode back to the first presentation mode.

    Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for managing locations of users in a spatial group within a communication session based on the display of shared content in a three-dimensional environment. In some examples, a first electronic device and a second electronic device are in communication within a communication session. In some examples, the first electronic device displays a three-dimensional environment including an avatar corresponding to a user of the second electronic device. In some examples, in response to detecting an input corresponding to a request to display shared content in the three-dimensional environment, if the shared content is a first type of content, the first electronic positions the avatar a first distance away from the viewpoint, and if the shared content is a second type of content, the first electronic device positions the avatar a second distance away from the viewpoint.

    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide extended reality (XR) environments that include virtual content anchored to particular times and/or within physical environments. In some implementations, an XR environment is provided based on virtual content items (e.g., representing memories or past events) that are anchored to both physical locations and particular times along a timeline. This may involve selecting and providing virtual content items (e.g., representing memories) based on user input that selects a particular time, e.g., day, time, date/time range, etc. The content can include real and/or virtual content representing objects and/or people and may be the user's own private memories, memories shared by friends, or selected public memories.
