Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide a real-time system for positioning and/or arranging application content anchored to locations in a physical environment. The subject technology may include a placement system that facilitates placement of application content relative to the anchors, according to application and/or system preferences and/or requirements for display of the content.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide for system state management in a centralized rendering environment. A system may initialize a tree structure for a three-dimensional environment. The system renders the three-dimensional environment based at least in part on a traversal of the tree structure. The system identifies a request to change first or second visual states. The system can determine a first state update to the first visual state and a second state update to the second visual state and updates the tree structure by passing, by a first node, the first state update to a first child node and separately passing the second state update to a second child node. The system re-renders the three-dimensional environment based at least in part on a traversal of the updated tree structure.

Abstract: Application casting is provided, in which an application running on an electronic device is casted to another electronic device that does not have access to the application. The application is casted by providing sufficient information for rendering of a user interface of the application, at the device that does not have access to the application, with applied modifications such as user preferences for the device that does not have access to the application.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide virtual anchoring for extended reality (XR) display devices. A device may generate an XR environment that includes computer-generated (CG) content for display relative to various physical objects in a physical environment. In order to position the CG content, an XR application may request a physical anchor object to which the CG content can be anchored. In circumstances in which the physical anchor object is not available in the physical environment, a virtual anchor and/or a virtual anchor object corresponding to the physical anchor object can be provided to which the CG content can be anchored.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide for various user interface modes for a user interface of an application. The user interface modes may include one or more bounded modes, a single application mode such as an exclusive mode, and/or one or more full screen modes. In one or more implementations, access to various types of information by the application may be constrained based on the user interface mode of the user interface.

Abstract: A device may include a processor configured to receive, by a system process and from an application process, a visibility preference for an object type and segment one or more physical objects associated with the object type from an image of a physical environment. The processor is also configured to determine, by the system process, whether to display the one or more segmented physical objects based at least in part on the visibility preference. In response to a determination display the one or more segmented physical objects, the processor is configured to display at least a portion of the image corresponding to the one or more segmented physical objects. In response to a determination not to display the one or more segmented physical objects, the processor is configured to forgo displaying that at least a portion of the image corresponding to the one or more segmented physical objects.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide a small, portable physical object for use in an extended reality system. The system may include a device that allows a user/wearer to interact with virtual representations of content such as stored data and/or applications overlaid on the user’s physical environment. The object has a unique identifier that is obtainable by the device or another device. The object may be an inactive device without any internal circuitry, a passive device with circuitry that is activated by another device, or an active device having its own processing circuitry and/or a display housed in the body of the object. The object can be associated with content displayed by the device to provide a user with a physical object that can be moved or manipulated to move, modify, transport, or store the content generated, stored, and/or displayed in an extended reality environment.
