  • Publication number: 20240013487
    Abstract: In one implementation, a method includes: identifying a plurality of plot-effectuators and a plurality of environmental elements within a scene associated with a portion of video content; determining one or more spatial relationships between the plurality of plot-effectuators and the plurality of environmental elements within the scene; synthesizing a representation of the scene based at least in part on the one or more spatial relationships; extracting a plurality of action sequences corresponding to the plurality of plot-effectuators based at least in part on the portion of the video content; and generating a corresponding synthesized reality (SR) reconstruction of the scene by driving a plurality of digital assets, associated with the plurality of plot-effectuators, within the representation of the scene according to the plurality of action sequences.

  • Publication number: 20230351644
    Abstract: In one implementation, a method includes: obtaining a user input to view SR content associated with video content; if the video content includes a first scene when the user input was detected: obtaining first SR content for a first time period of the video content associated with the first scene; obtaining a task associated with the first scene; and causing presentation of the first SR content and a first indication of the task associated with the first scene; and if the video content includes a second scene when the user input was detected: obtaining second SR content for a second time period of the video content associated with the second scene; obtaining a task associated with the second scene; and causing presentation of the second SR content and a second indication of the task associated with the second scene.

  • Patent number: 11386653
    Abstract: In one implementation, a method includes: identifying a first plot-within a scene associated with a portion of video content; synthesizing a scene description for the scene that corresponds to a trajectory of the first plot-effectuator within a setting associated with the scene and actions performed by the first plot-effectuator; and generating a corresponding synthesized reality (SR) reconstruction of the scene by driving a first digital asset associated with the first plot-effectuator according to the scene description for the scene.

  • Patent number: 11328456
    Abstract: In one implementation, a method includes: while causing presentation of video content having a current plot setting, receiving a user input indicating a request to explore the current plot setting; obtaining synthesized reality (SR) content associated with the current plot setting in response to receiving the user input; causing presentation of the SR content associated with the current plot setting; receiving one or more user interactions with the SR content; and adjusting the presentation of the SR content in response to receiving the one or more user interactions with the SR content.
