Abstract: Media processing systems and techniques are described. A media processing system receives image data that represents an environment captured by an image sensor. The media processing system receives an indication of an object in the environment that is represented in the image data. The media processing system divides the image data into regions, including a first region and a second region. The object is represented in one of the plurality of regions. The media processing system modifies the image data to obscure the first region without obscuring the second region based on the object being represented in the one of the plurality of regions. The media processing system outputs the image data after modifying the image data. In some examples, the object is depicted in the first region and not the second region. In some examples, the object is depicted in the second region and not the first region.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses (or devices), methods, and computer-readable media are provided for generating virtual content. For example, a device (e.g., an extended reality device) can obtain an image of a scene of a real-world environment, wherein the real-world environment is viewable through a display of the extended reality device as virtual content is displayed by the display. The device can detect at least a part of a physical hand of a user in the image. The device can generate a virtual keyboard based on detecting at least the part of the physical hand. The device can determine a position for the virtual keyboard on the display of the extended reality device relative to at least the part of the physical hand. The device can display the virtual keyboard at the position on the display.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory media are provided for generating virtual private spaces for extended reality (XR) experiences. An example method can include initiating a virtual session for presenting virtual content and identifying, for the virtual session, a portion of a physical space for use as a virtual private space for presenting at least a portion of the virtual content. The method can include outputting boundary information defining a boundary of the virtual private space, and generate at least the portion of the virtual content for the virtual private space. At least the portion of the virtual content is viewable in the virtual private space by one or more authorized users of the virtual session and is not viewable by one or more unauthorized users.

Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for audio signal processing are presented. Some configurations include determining that first audio activity in at least one microphone signal is voice activity; determining whether the voice activity is voice activity of a participant in an application session active on a device; based at least on a result of the determining whether the voice activity is voice activity of a participant in the application session, generating an antinoise signal to cancel the first audio activity; and by a loudspeaker, producing an acoustic signal that is based on the antinoise signal. Applications relating to shared virtual spaces are described.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may include a processor configured to receive information from a sensor that is indicative of a position of the head-mounted device relative to a reference point on a face of a user; and adjust a rendering of an item of virtual content based on the position or a change in the position of the device relative to the face. The sensor may be distance sensor, and the processor may be configured to adjust the rendering of the item of virtual content based a measured distance or change of distance between the head-mounted device and the point of reference on the user's face. The point of reference on the user's face may be one or both of the user's eyes.
