The method also includes selecting a content source based on the content source identifier, obtaining a content item and content location information based on the content identifier from the content source, determining a content position and a content orientation for the content item relative to the physical object based on the content location information, and displaying a representation of the content item using the electronic device according to the content position and the content orientation.

Abstract: Described herein are devices and methods related to compositionally graded buffers (CGB) and methods and/or systems for producing CGBs. CGBs enable the growth of high quality materials that are lattice mismatched to a substrate. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to methods for making CGBs by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE). HVPE methods using a single chamber for producing a CGB may result in a transience in the CGB layers as the flows supplying the reactants are switched to produce the next subsequent layer in the CGB. In contrast to this static style of grading, the present disclosure describes a dynamic method for producing CGBs, in which multiple growth chambers are utilized.
