  • Publication number: 20230418374
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for compositing an affordance in association with a CGR object representing a physical article. In various implementations, a device includes a display, a non-transitory memory, and one or more processors coupled with the display and the non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes displaying a computer-generated reality (CGR) object in a CGR environment. In some implementations, the CGR object represents a physical article. In some implementations, the method includes compositing an affordance in association with the CGR object. In some implementations, the method includes detecting an input directed to the affordance. In some implementations, the method includes, in response to detecting the input, adding an identifier identifying the physical article to a user selection queue.

  • Patent number: 11789688
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for presenting content based on environmental data. In various implementations, a device includes a display, a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the display and the non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining environmental data associated with a physical environment in which the device is located. In some implementations, the method includes selecting, from a plurality of presentation modes, a first presentation mode for content based on the environmental data. In some implementations, the method includes presenting the content in accordance with the first presentation mode.

  • Publication number: 20220130089
    Abstract: According to various embodiments, a method of presenting a computer-generated reality (CGR) file includes receiving user inputs to present a CGR scene including one or more CGR objects. The CGR scene is associated with an anchor. The anchor is selected via a user input directed to an anchor selection affordance of a user interface. The method further includes capturing an image of a physical environment, and determining that a portion of the image corresponds to the anchor. Based on determining that the portion of the image corresponds to the anchor, the method includes displaying the CGR scene at a location of the display corresponding to the portion of the image corresponding to the anchor.

  • Patent number: 11250604
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of presenting a computer-generated reality (CGR) file includes receiving a user input to present a CGR scene including one or more CGR objects, wherein the CGR scene is associated with a first anchor and a second anchor. The method includes capturing an image of a physical environment and determining that the image of the physical environment lacks a portion corresponding to the first anchor. The method includes detecting a portion of the image of the physical environment corresponding to the second anchor. The method includes, in response to determining that image of the physical environment lacks a portion corresponding to the first anchor and detecting a portion of the image of the physical environment corresponding to the second anchor, displaying the CGR scene at a location of the display corresponding to the second anchor.
