  • Patent number: 11830119
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for modifying an environment based on sound. In some implementations, a device includes one or more processors, a display and a non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes displaying a computer graphics environment that includes an object. In some implementations, the method includes detecting, via an audio sensor, a sound from a physical environment of the device. In some implementations, the sound is associated with one or more audio characteristics. In some implementations, the method includes modifying a visual property of the object based on the one or more audio characteristics of the sound.

  • Publication number: 20230360340
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for modifying a visual property of an object based on a geographic location associated with a device. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a request to display an object that is associated with a set of one or more visual properties including a visual property that is dependent on a theme. Based on a particular theme, a set of one or more physical elements is identified that corresponds to the object. The one or more physical elements are associated with respective values for the visual property. A value for the visual property associated with the object is determined based on the respective values associated with the set of one or more physical elements. The object is displayed in accordance with the value for the visual property.

  • Publication number: 20220189128
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining a plurality of sequential images. The method includes identifying a first plurality of pixel sets respectively associated with the plurality of sequential images. Each of the first plurality of pixel sets locates a first object within a corresponding sequential image on a per-pixel basis. The method includes determining a characterization vector of the first object by extracting a corresponding plurality of displayable characteristic values based on the first plurality of pixel sets. Each of the plurality of displayable characteristic values is associated with a corresponding pixel set and a corresponding sequential image. The characterization vector includes a plurality of distinct temporal values respectively associated with the corresponding plurality of displayable characteristic values.
