    Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) device supporting an AR is provided. The AR device includes a display, a communication circuit, at least one processor operatively connected to the display and the communication circuit, and a memory operatively connected to the at least one processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to establish a connection with a user device storing a contact application and a message application, through the communication circuit, detect that the message application is executed, and display a first graphic user interface (GUI) and at least one avatar, which is disposed at a location adjacent to the first GUI and corresponds to at least one contact associated with the contact application or the message application, through the display in the AR.

    Abstract: Extended reality interactions include capturing, with a first device, video of a first user and conveying same to a second, heterogeneous device. A 3D mesh is received by the first device from the second device for rendering an extended reality environment, which is simultaneously displayed on the second device. Video of a second user and pose transforms for compositing the video of the second user in the extended reality environment displayed on the first device is received. A view perspective of the video of the second user composited in the extended reality environment is based on the pose transforms. Input to the first device changes the view perspective. View perspective data is conveyed from the first device to the second device that causes a corresponding change in view perspective of the video of the first user composited in the extended reality environment simultaneously displayed on the second device.

    Abstract: A method for dynamic notification management at a head mounted display (HMD) includes presenting, at the HMD, an augmented reality display, receiving, at a processor controlling the HMD, a notification from an application for display at the HMD, receiving, at the processor at a first time, first sensor data from one or more of a camera or a microphone, determining, based on the first sensor data, a first value of one or more factors associated with a probability that a user of the HMD is currently in a real-world conversation, determining an importance value of the received notification at the first time, and determining whether to display the notification from the application based on a comparison of the first value of the one or more factors associated relative to the importance value of the received notification.

    Abstract: One embodiment provides a method comprising determining a spatial relationship between an augmented reality (AR) device and a camera-equipped device. The AR device is worn by a user. The camera-equipped device is positioned within proximity of the user. The method comprises determining, based on the spatial relationship, minimum and maximum boundaries of a user volume encompassing a head and one or more extremities of the user. The minimum and maximum boundaries represent a reduced depth range that is narrower than a full depth range of a camera frustum of the camera-equipped device. The method further comprises encoding, based on the minimum and maximum boundaries, a depth image frame captured via the camera-equipped device, and transmitting the encoded depth image frame over a remote network connection. A reconstructed 3D image based in part on the encoded depth image frame is rendered by a different AR device.

    Abstract: A system and method for controlling presentation on a foldable display of an electronic device is provided. A foldable electronic device comprises a foldable housing including a hinge structure, a first housing structure and a second housing structure foldable and unfoldable with respect to the first housing structure about the hinge structure. The electronic device includes a processor and a memory to store instructions that cause the processor to receive a first user input to select an application program; detect a change from a folded state to an unfolded state; determine whether the selected application program has user interface size restrictions; and in the unfolded state, display a user interface of the selected application on at least a portion of the foldable display, based in part on the screen size restriction.
