Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to media editing methods and graphical user interfaces. In some examples, the media editing user interface includes a plurality of user interface options and tools for capturing and editing media generated by a plurality of media recording devices. In some examples, states of the media recording devices are modified to add respective content to a media stream. In some examples, the media editing user interface includes representations of media content from the orientation of a respective media recording device. In some examples, the media editing user interface can present controls to alter contents of the media stream and publish and/or export the contents of the media stream.

Abstract: A first device includes a display, an input device, a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the display, the input device and the non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes detecting, via the input device, an input that corresponds to a request to generate a path for an entity to follow while a sequence of images is to be captured. In some implementations, the method includes generating the path for the entity based on the request. In some implementations, the method includes triggering a second device that is associated with the entity to overlay a virtual indicator indicative of the path on a pass-through of a physical environment. In some implementations, the virtual indicator guides the entity along the path while the sequence of images is captured.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for displaying a visual indicator for capturing images. In some implementations, a device includes a display, an environmental sensor, a non-transitory memory, and one or more processors coupled with the display, the environmental sensor and the non-transitory memory. In various implementations, a method includes obtaining a request to capture a sequence of images depicting a subject. The sequence of images is to be captured while an image sensor is being moved along a path with a predefined shape. The method includes determining a dimension of the path. The method includes overlaying, on a pass-through of the physical environment, a virtual indicator that indicates the path with the dimension and the predefined shape. The virtual indicator guides a user of the device along the path while capturing the sequence of the images with the image sensor.

Abstract: A computer-generated environment may include computer characters. Characteristics of the real-world environment are estimated and the interactions between computer characters and the real-world environment can be based on the estimated characteristics.

Abstract: Some examples described in this disclosure are performed at a first electronic device (e.g., a computer system) that is in communication with a display and one or more input devices. In some examples, the first electronic device detects a change in a physical environment of the first electronic device due to movement of one or more physical objects in the physical environment indicative of a user input. In some examples, the first electronic device performs a first action at the first electronic device or at a second electronic device in communication with the first electronic device in accordance with the change in the physical environment due to movement of the one or more physical objects in the physical environment.

Abstract: A device includes a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the non-transitory memory. The device performs a method that includes detecting, in a set of one or more images, appearance features that define an appearance of an object represented in the set of one or more images. The appearance includes one or more shading effects associated with the object. The method includes generating a feature map for the object that encodes the detected appearance features of the object. The method includes displaying, based on the feature map, a computer-generated graphical object with one or more simulated shading effects that are within a degree of similarity to the one or more shading effects associated with the object.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for identifying virtual object kits that may be used to generate a target virtual object. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a plurality of virtual object kits that generate variations of respective virtual object types. Each virtual object kit is associated with a characteristic parameter. For each virtual object kit, a subset of possible virtual object variations of the virtual object type is generated by assigning corresponding values to the characteristic parameter based on a distribution criterion. A subset of the plurality of virtual object kits is identified based on the target virtual object being within a similarity threshold of one or more virtual object variations generated using the subset of the plurality of virtual object kits in response to a request to assemble a target virtual object.
