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 some implementations, a method of generating a third person view of a computer-generated reality (CGR) environment is performed at a device including non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the non-transitory memory. The method includes: obtaining a first viewing vector associated with a first user within a CGR environment; determining a first viewing frustum for the first user within the CGR environment based on the first viewing vector associated with the first user and one or more depth attributes; generating a representation of the first viewing frustum; and displaying, via the display device, a third person view of the CGR environment including an avatar of the first user and the representation of the first viewing frustum adjacent to the avatar of the first user.
