In some implementations, the method includes: obtaining a plurality of animations; determining initial and end motion states for each of the plurality of animations; generating an animation graph including nodes for each of the plurality of animations by connecting, with a directional edge, a first node with an end motion state to a second node with an initial motion state that matches the end motion state of the first node; generating a transitional animation that is not included among the plurality of animations from an initial reference motion state to a target motion state that corresponds to a path that traverses the animation graph from a third node associated with the initial reference motion state to a fourth node associated with the target motion state; and updating the animation graph by removing one or more nodes from the animation graph based at least in part on the transitional animation.

Method and device for generating an animation graph

A device obtains a request to display a graphical environment. The graphical environment is associated with a set of saliency values corresponding to respective portions of the graphical environment. A POV for displaying the graphical environment is selected based on the set of saliency values. The graphical environment is displayed from the selected POV on the display.

Displaying an environment from a selected point-of-view

In one implementation, a method of composing a scene content is performed at a device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes generating a definition of a scene based on textual or speech input and a model of a physical environment, wherein the definition includes a constraint that defines a spatial relationship between a virtual asset and an anchor asset that corresponds to one or more physical objects in the physical environment. The method includes generating, based on the definition of the scene and the model of the physical environment, a first instance of the scene that satisfies the constraint with the virtual asset in the spatial relationship with a first one of the one or more physical objects in the physical environment. The method includes presenting, on the display, the first instance of the scene.
