  • Publication number: 20230350536
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for selecting a point-of-view (POV) for displaying an environment. In some implementations, a device includes a display, one or more processors, and a non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a request to display a graphical environment. The graphical environment is associated with a set of saliency values corresponding to respective portions of the graphical environment. A POV for displaying the graphical environment is selected based on the set of saliency values. The graphical environment is displayed from the selected POV on the display.

  • Publication number: 20220269338
    Abstract: Implementations use a first device (e.g., an HMD) to provide a CGR environment that augments the input and output capabilities of a second device, e.g., a laptop, smart speaker, etc. In some implementations, the first device communicates with a second device in its proximate physical environment to exchange input or output data. For example, an HMD may capture an image of a physical environment that includes a laptop. The HMD may detect the laptop, send a request the laptop's content, receive content from the laptop (e.g., the content that the laptop is currently displaying and additional content), identify the location of the laptop, and display a virtual object with the received content in the CGR environment on or near the laptop. The size, shape, orientation, or position of the virtual object (e.g., a virtual monitor or monitor extension) may also be configured to provide a better user experience.
