Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology may provide localized environmental input sensing for electronic devices. Localized environmental input sensing may include obtaining local lighting condition estimates for one or more local portions of a physical environment. The local lighting conditions may include ambient light levels and/or a light direction of a directional light source. The one or more local portions of the physical environment may be determined based on an identification of a salient region of the physical environment to a user of an electronic device.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide for dynamic noise control for electronic devices. For example, a dynamically adjustable limit on component noise may be generated based on ambient noise, based on other device-generated sound, based on a state of an audio output device, and/or based on an application being actively utilized at an electronic device. As one example, an electronic device may increase a limit on a sound-generating component of an electronic device when the electronic device determines that a user of the electronic device is engaged in a sound-tolerant activity. As another example, an electronic device may decrease a limit on a sound-generating component of an electronic device when the electronic device determines that a user of the electronic device is engaged in a sound-sensitive activity.

Abstract: An exemplary process for identifying a type of a physical environment amongst a plurality of types of physical environments is provided. The process includes obtaining, using the one or more cameras, image data corresponding to a physical environment. The process further includes identifying at least one portion of an entity in the physical environment based on the image data; determining, based on the identified at least one portion of the entity, whether the entity is an entity of a first type; determining a type of the physical environment if the entity is an entity of the first type; and presenting one or more virtual objects and a representation of the entity.

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.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide noise mitigation for electronic devices. Noise mitigation can mitigate the effect of a sound-generating component of an electronic device that generates sound as a byproduct of a primary function of the sound-generating component. The noise mitigation can include geometrically distributing another sound in a geometric distribution that mitigates the perceived effect of the sound of the sound-generating component on a user of the electronic device.
