  • Publication number: 20230324985
    Abstract: In one implementation, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores program instructions computer-executable on one or more processors of an electronic device to perform operations. The operations include presenting, on a display of the electronic device, a simulated reality (SR) environment at a first immersion level, where the first immersion level is associated with a first location of a reality boundary. Using a rotatable input device of the electronic device, input is received representing a request to change the first immersion level to a second immersion level. In accordance with receiving the input, the SR environment is presented at the second immersion level, where the second immersion level is associated with a second location of the reality boundary.

  • Publication number: 20230245410
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for providing guided instructions or support using a virtual object. The method comprises at a first computing device in communication with one or more input devices and a second computing device, capturing, using the one or more input devices, one or more images, determining an identity of an object using the one or more images, and transmitting the identity of the object to the second computing device. The method further comprises receiving from the second computing device an indication of a first input received at the second computing device and presenting a first view of the object comprising a first annotation that corresponds to the first input received at the second computing device.

  • Patent number: 11709541
    Abstract: In one implementation, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores program instructions computer-executable on a computer to perform operations. The operations include presenting first content representing a virtual reality setting on a display of an electronic device. Using an input device of the electronic device, input is received representing a request to present a view corresponding to a physical setting in which the electronic device is located. In accordance with receiving the input, the first content is simultaneously presented on the display with second content representing the view corresponding to the physical setting obtained using an image sensor of the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 11709370
    Abstract: In one implementation, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores program instructions computer-executable on a computer to perform operations. The operations include presenting, on a display of an electronic device, first content representing a standard view of a physical setting depicted in image data generated by an image sensor of the electronic device. While presenting the first content, an interaction with an input device of the electronic device is detected that is indicative of a request to present an enriched view of the physical setting. In accordance with detecting the interaction, second content is formed representing the enriched view of the physical setting by applying an enrichment effect that alters or supplements the image data generated by the image sensor. The second content representing the enriched view of the physical setting is presented on the display.

  • Patent number: 11348305
    Abstract: In one implementation, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores program instructions computer-executable on a computer to perform operations. The operations include obtaining first content representing a physical environment in which an electronic device is located using an image sensor of the electronic device. A physical feature corresponding to a physical object in the physical environment is detected using the first content. A feature descriptor corresponding to a physical parameter of the physical feature is determined using the first content. Second content representing a computer generated reality (CGR) environment is generated based on the feature descriptor and presented on a display of the electronic device.
