The device state data describes a state of one or more network-connected devices associated with the real-world three-dimensional space. The volumetric content is presented. The presentation of the volumetric content includes presentation of the volumetric representation of the one or more elements overlaid on the real-world three-dimensional space by a display device and configuring the one or more network-connected devices using the device state data.

Abstract: A sender holds a first platform account with an interaction system. The sender selects a content item to be shared with a recipient. In response to determining that a recipient identifier of the recipient is not linked to a platform account, an off-platform communication is transmitted to a second user device associated with the recipient identifier. The off-platform communication is in an electronic format supported by the second user device and contains a user-selectable registration link. In response to detecting establishment of a second platform account linked to the recipient identifier, the recipient is enabled to access the content item on the second user device via a user interface provided by an interaction application. A relationship between the first platform account and the second platform account is established within the interaction system.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for varied depth determination using, stereo vision and phase detection auto focus (PDAF). Computer stereo vision (stereo vision) is used to extract three-dimensional information from digital images. To utilize stereo vison, two optical sensors are displaced horizontally from one another and used to capture images depicting two differing views of a real-world environment from two different vantage points. The relative depth of the objects captured in the images is determined using triangulation by comparing the relative positions of the objects in the two images. For example, the relative positions of matching objects (e.g., features) identified in the captured images are used along with the known orientation of the optical sensors (e.g., distance between the optical sensors, vantage points the optical sensors) to estimate the depth of the objects.
