Abstract: In one implementation, a method for dynamically determining presentation and transitional regions for content delivery. The method includes obtaining a first set of characteristics associated with a physical environment; and detecting a request to cause presentation of virtual content. In response to detecting the request, the method also includes obtaining a second set of characteristics associated with the virtual content; generating a presentation region for the virtual content based at least in part on the first and second sets of characteristics; and generating a transitional region provided to at least partially surround the presentation region based at least in part on the first and second sets of characteristics. The method further includes concurrently presenting the virtual content within the presentation region and the transitional region at least partially surrounding the presentation region.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to managing live communication sessions. A computer system optionally displays an option to invite the respective user to join the ongoing communication session. A computer system optionally one or more options to modify an appearance of an avatar representing the user of the computer system.

Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for presenting content in a three-dimensional environment by one or more electronic devices in a multi-user communication session. In some examples, a first electronic device and a second electronic device are communicatively linked in a multi-user communication session, wherein the first electronic device and the second electronic device are configured to display a three-dimensional environment, respectively. In some examples, the first electronic device and the second electronic device are grouped in a first spatial group within the multi-user communication session. In some examples, if the second electronic device determines that the first electronic device changes states (and/or vice versa), the user of the first electronic device and the user of the second electronic device are no longer grouped into the same spatial group within the multi-user communication session.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to techniques and user interfaces for controlling and displaying representations of user in environments, such as during a live communication session and/or a live collaboration session.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that generate and share/transmit a 3D representation of a physical environment during a communication session. Some of the elements (e.g., points) of the 3D representation may be replaced to improve the quality and/or efficiency of the modeling and transmitting processes. A user's device may provide a view and/or feedback during a scan of the physical environment during the communication session to facilitate accurate understanding of what is being transmitted. Additional information, e.g., a second representation of a portion of the physical environment, may also be transmitted during a communication session. The second representations may represent an aspect (e.g., more details, photo quality images, live, etc.) of a portion not represented by the 3D representation.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for electronic devices, including user interfaces for viewing and interacting with media items.

Abstract: Various implementations provide a representation of at least a portion of a user within a three-dimensional (3D) environment other than the user's physical environment. Based on detecting a condition, a representation of another object of the user's physical environment is shown to provide context. As examples, a representation of a sitting surface may be shown based on detecting that the user is sitting down, representations of a table and coffee cup may be shown based on detecting that the user is reaching out to pick up a coffee cup, a representation of a second user may be shown based on detecting a voice or the user turning his attention towards a moving object or sound, and a depiction of a puppy may be shown when the puppy's bark is detected.

Abstract: A method includes displaying a home ER environment characterized by home ER world coordinates, including one or more diorama-view representation of one or more respective ER environments. Each diorama-view representation includes ER objects arranged in a spatial relationship according to corresponding ER world coordinates. In some implementations, in response to detecting an input directed to a first diorama-view representation, the method includes transforming the home ER environment. Transforming the home ER environment includes transforming the spatial relationship between a subset of the ER objects as a function of the home ER world coordinates and corresponding ER world coordinates.
