First content may be obtained in response to identifying a first physical element of a first object type. The first content may be associated with the first object type. Second content may be obtained in response to identifying a second physical element of a second object type. The second content may be associated with the second object type. The second physical element may be detected as being within a threshold distance of the first physical element. Third content may be generated based on a combination of the first content and the second content. The third content may be associated with a third object type that is different from the first object type and the second object type. The third content may be displayed on the display.

Generating content for physical elements

Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide extended reality (XR) environments that include virtual content anchored to objects within physical environments. Such objects may be movable objects. In some implementations, the virtual content is adaptive in that the virtual content is presented based on a characteristic of the movable object. For example, a virtual game piece may be scaled, shaped, etc. to match a physical game piece to which it is anchored. As another example, a virtual gameboard may be scaled and positioned on a real table such that the edge of the gameboard aligns with the edge of the table and such that a virtual waterfall appears to flow over the edge of the real table.

Environment adaptive content

In accordance with some implementations, a method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, one or more input devices, and a display. The method includes displaying, on the display, a reader interface including one or more portions of reading content. The method further includes detecting, via the one or more input devices, a first positional change input. The first positional change input is indicative of the electronic device changing from a first position to a second position. The method further includes, in response to detecting the first positional change input, ceasing to display the reader interface including the one or more portions of reading content, and displaying, on the display, one or more computer-generated representations corresponding to the one or more portions of reading content.

Presenting computer-generated content associated with reading content based on user interactions

A heating system comprising a firebox defining a combustion chamber that is substantially sealed from the atmosphere. The system includes a flue for conducting combustion gases from the combustion chamber. A first duct surrounds the flue and defines an inner passageway with respect thereto. A second duct surrounds the first duct and defines an outer passageway. An inlet means is provided for introducing ambient air into the outer passageway. The air in the outer passageway is drawn through the inner passageway by a negative pressure in the combustion chamber. The ambient air in the inner and outer passageways is heated by heat transmitted from the flue. This heated ambient air is then introduced in the combustion chamber to improve the efficiency of combustion.
