  • Publication number: 20240094815
    Abstract: In one implementation, a method for recording an XR environment. The method includes: presenting, via the display device, a graphical environment with one or more virtual agents, wherein the graphical environment corresponds to a composition of extended reality (XR) content, including the one or more virtual agents, and an image stream of a physical environment captured from a first point-of-view (POV) of the physical environment; detecting, via the one or more input devices, a user input selecting a first virtual agent from among the one or more virtual agents; and in response to detecting the user input, recording a plurality of data streams associated with the graphical environment including a first image stream of the graphical environment from the first POV and one or more data streams of the graphical environment from a current POV of the first virtual agent.

  • Publication number: 20230089049
    Abstract: In one implementation, a method of displaying content is performed at a device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes scanning a first physical environment to detect a first physical object in the first physical environment and a second physical object in the first physical environment, wherein the first physical object meets at least one first object criterion and the second physical object meets at least one second object criterion. The method includes displaying, in association with the first physical environment, a virtual object moving along a first path from the first physical object to the second physical object.
