Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that are capable of executing an application on a head-mounted device (HMD) having a first image sensor in a first image sensor configuration. In some implementations, the application is configured for execution on a device including a second image sensor in a second image sensor configuration different than the first image sensor configuration. In some implementations, a request is received from the executing application for image data from the second image sensor. Responsive to the request at the HMD, a pose of a virtual image sensor is determined, image data is generated based on the pose of the virtual image sensor, and the generated image data is provided to the executing application.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that determine how to present a three-dimensional (3D) photo in an extended reality (XR) environment (e.g., in 3D, 2D, blurry, or not at all) based on viewing position of a user active in the XR environment relative to a placement of the 3D photo in the XR environment. In some implementations, at an electronic device having a processor, a 3D photo that is an incomplete 3D representation created based on one or more images captured by an image capture device is obtained. In some implementations, a viewing position of the electronic device relative to a placement position of the 3D photo is determined, and a presentation mode for the 3D photo is determined based on the viewing position. In some implementations, the 3D photo is provided at the placement position based on the presentation mode in the XR environment.

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.

Abstract: This relates generally to systems and methods of presenting extended reality environments and, more particularly, to displaying notifications while operating in different modes while presenting an extended reality environment. In some situations, the electronic device detects an event that satisfies one or more first criteria including a criterion that is satisfied when detecting an interaction with a person using at least an optical sensor. In some examples, in response to detecting the event, the electronic device transitions from a first mode to a second mode. In some examples, the electronic device receives a notification while operating in the second mode. In some examples, if one or more second criteria are satisfied, then the electronic device does not present the notification while in the second mode.

Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for selectively displaying an image of a portion of a physical environment of an electronic device with enhanced visibility. In some examples, the image is displayed overlaid on a portion of a view of the physical environment. In some examples, the electronic device displays the image in accordance with one or more first criteria being satisfied. In some examples, the electronic device forgoes displaying the image in accordance with the one or more criteria not being satisfied.

Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for presenting extended reality environments and, more particularly, to displaying one or more images relating to exercises in a physical environment while presenting an extended reality environment. In some situations, the electronic device detects an initiation of an exercise activity of a user of the electronic device using at least an optical sensor. In some examples, the electronic device presents a user interface including a representation of the identified exercise activity in the extended reality environment. In some examples, in response to detecting progression of the identified exercise activity, the user interface is updated with the updated representation of the exercise activity. In some examples, the electronic device presents a rest user interface during rest periods and/or after detecting rest.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide application-free extended reality systems and methods. In an application-free extended reality environment, data may be visualized for a user using a data visualization utility that is provided by an operating system of a computing device. The operating system can also provide, separately from the data visualization utility, interaction tools for interacting data that is displayed in the mixed reality environment by the data visualization utility.
