Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for synthesizing an environment based on an image. In various implementations, a device includes a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the non-transitory memory. In various implementations, a method includes determining an engagement score that characterizes a level of engagement between a user and a representation of a subject included in an image. In some implementations, the method includes, in response to the engagement score satisfying an engagement threshold, obtaining stored information regarding the subject, and synthesizing an environment based on the image and the stored information regarding the subject.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method includes: obtaining a user input to view SR content associated with video content; if the video content includes a first scene when the user input was detected: obtaining first SR content for a first time period of the video content associated with the first scene; obtaining a task associated with the first scene; and causing presentation of the first SR content and a first indication of the task associated with the first scene; and if the video content includes a second scene when the user input was detected: obtaining second SR content for a second time period of the video content associated with the second scene; obtaining a task associated with the second scene; and causing presentation of the second SR content and a second indication of the task associated with the second scene.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining a user focus indicator value that is associated with a subject. A plurality of filter values for a respective set of media content filters are determined based on the subject and contextual data. The method includes delivering, based on a first combination of the filter values, a first set of media content items associated with a first combination of content delivery mediums. The method includes delivering, based on a second combination of the filter values that is different from the first combination, a second set of media content items that is associated with a second combination of content delivery mediums that is different from the first combination of content delivery mediums. The second set is different from the first set.

Abstract: In various implementations, a device surveys a scene and presents, within the scene, a extended reality (XR) environment including one or more assets that evolve over time (e.g., change location or age). Modeling such an XR environment at various timescales can be computationally intensive, particularly when modeling the XR environment over larger timescales. Accordingly, in various implementations, different models are used to determine the environment state of the XR environment when presenting the XR environment at different timescales.

Abstract: In various implementations, a method comprises: identifying a plurality of data items, each of the plurality of data items having at least a first metadata field or a second metadata field; displaying a volumetric environment including a first plurality of SR objects corresponding to a first plurality of data items among the plurality of data items, wherein the first plurality of data items includes the first metadata field with first metadata field values; detecting a first user input indicative of the second metadata field; and in response to detecting the first user input, replacing the first plurality of SR objects within the volumetric environment with a second plurality of SR objects corresponding to a second plurality of data items among the plurality of data items, wherein each of the second plurality of data items includes the second metadata field with second metadata field values.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method includes: while presenting reference CGR content, obtaining a request from a user to invoke a target state for the user; generating, based on a user model and the reference CGR content, modified CGR content to invoke the target state for the user; presenting the modified CGR content; after presenting the modified CGR content, determining a resultant state of the user; in accordance with a determination that the resultant state of the user corresponds to the target state for the user, updating the user model to indicate that the modified CGR content successfully invoked the target state for the user; and in accordance with a determination that the resultant state of the user does not correspond to the target state for the user, updating the user model to indicate that the modified CGR content did not successfully invoke the target state for the user.

Abstract: In accordance with some implementations, a method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, one or more input devices, and a display. The method includes displaying, on the display, a reader interface including one or more portions of reading content. The method further includes detecting, via the one or more input devices, a first positional change input. The first positional change input is indicative of the electronic device changing from a first position to a second position. The method further includes, in response to detecting the first positional change input, ceasing to display the reader interface including the one or more portions of reading content, and displaying, on the display, one or more computer-generated representations corresponding to the one or more portions of reading content.

Abstract: In some implementations, a method includes: obtaining first input data while presenting a computer-generated reality (CGR) environment from the perspective of a first character associated with a first time slice within predetermined content; determining whether or not the first input data satisfies first performance criteria associated with the first character for the first time slice within the predetermined content; and, in response to determining that the first input data satisfies the first performance criteria associated with the first character for the first time slice within the predetermined content, updating the CGR environment from the perspective of the first character associated with a second time slice within the predetermined content.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method includes: while causing presentation of video content having a current plot setting, receiving a user input indicating a request to explore the current plot setting; obtaining synthesized reality (SR) content associated with the current plot setting in response to receiving the user input; causing presentation of the SR content associated with the current plot setting; receiving one or more user interactions with the SR content; and adjusting the presentation of the SR content in response to receiving the one or more user interactions with the SR content.
