  • Publication number: 20220291806
    Abstract: A method includes determining to present a computer-generated reality (CGR) object that is associated with a first anchor and a second anchor. The method includes determining, based on an image of a physical environment, whether the physical environment includes a portion corresponding to the first anchor. The method includes, in response to determining that the physical environment lacks a portion that corresponds to the first anchor, determining, based on the image, whether the physical environment includes a portion corresponding to the second anchor. The method includes, in response to determining that the physical environment includes a portion that corresponds to the second anchor, displaying, on the display, the CGR object at a location of the display corresponding to the second anchor.

  • Patent number: 11385761
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of generating a computer-generated reality (CGR) file includes receiving, via one or more input devices, user input generating a computer-generated reality (CGR) scene, a user input associating an anchor with the CGR scene, user input associating one or more CGR objects with the CGR scene, wherein the CGR objects are to be displayed in association with the anchor, and user input associating a behavior with the CGR scene, wherein the behavior includes one or more triggers and actions and wherein the actions are performed in response to detecting any of the triggers. The method includes generating a CGR file including data regarding the CGR scene, the CGR file including data regarding the anchor, the CGR objects, and the behavior.
