Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer system reduces a visual prominence of virtual content relative to a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, a computer system displays an indication of a physical object in a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, a computer system reduces a visual prominence of the virtual content and enables a physical object, such as a person, to break through the virtual content, such as based on a determination that the physical object satisfies one or more criteria to constitute a salient social interaction.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer system selectively recenters virtual content to a viewpoint of a user. In some embodiments, a computer system selectively recenters virtual content and/or gathers the virtual content. In some embodiments, a computer system presents virtual content with a first spatial arrangement when an input corresponds to a recentering operation and presents the virtual content with a second spatial arrangement when the input corresponds to a gathering operation.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that adjusts content during an immersive experience. For example, an example process may include presenting a representation of a physical environment using content from a sensor located in the physical environment, detecting an object in the physical environment using the sensor, presenting a video, wherein the presented video occludes a portion of the presented representation of the physical environment, presenting a representation of the detected object, and in accordance with determining that the detected object meets a set of criteria, adjusting a level of occlusion of the presented representation of the detected object by the presented video, where the representation of the detected object indicates at least an estimate of a position between the sensor and the detected object, and is at least partially occluded by the presented video.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that create a 3D video that includes determining first adjustments (e.g., first transforms) to video frames (e.g., one or more RGB images and depth images per frame) to align content in a coordinate system to remove the effects of capturing camera motion. Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that playback a 3D video and includes determining second adjustments (e.g., second transforms) to remove the effects of movement of a viewing electronic device relative to a viewing environment during playback of the 3D video. Some implementations distinguish static content and moving content of the video frames to playback only moving objects or facilitate concurrent playback of multiple spatially related 3D videos. The 3D video may include images, audio, or 3D video of a video-capture-device user.

Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to methods for spatial placement of avatars in a communication session. In some examples, while a first electronic device is presenting a three-dimensional environment, the first electronic device may receive an input corresponding to a request to enter a communication session with a second electronic device. In some examples, in response to receiving the input, the first electronic device may scan an environment surrounding the first electronic device. In some examples, the first electronic device may identify a placement location in the three-dimensional environment at which to display a virtual object representing a user of the second electronic device. In some examples, the first electronic device displays the virtual object representing the user of the second electronic device at the placement location in the three-dimensional environment. Some examples of the disclosure are directed to methods for spatial refinement in the communication session.
