In one implementation, a method of displaying content is performed at a device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes scanning a first physical environment to detect a first physical object in the first physical environment and a second physical object in the first physical environment, wherein the first physical object meets at least one first object criterion and the second physical object meets at least one second object criterion. The method includes displaying, in association with the first physical environment, a virtual object moving along a first path from the first physical object to the second physical object. The method includes scanning a second physical environment to detect a third physical object in the second physical environment and a fourth physical object in the second physical environment, wherein the third physical object meets the at least one first object criterion and the fourth physical object meets the at least one second object criterion. The method includes displaying, in association with the second physical environment, the virtual object moving along a second path from the third physical object to the fourth physical object, wherein the second path is different than the first path.

Methods and systems for composing and executing a scene

In one implementation, a method for improved motion planning. The method includes: obtaining a macro task for a virtual agent within a virtual environment; generating a search-tree based on at least one of the macro task, a state of the virtual environment, and a state of the virtual agent, wherein the search-tree includes a plurality of task nodes corresponding to potential tasks for performance by the virtual agent in furtherance of the macro task; and determining physical motion plans (PMPs) for at least some of the plurality of task nodes within the search-tree in order to generate a lookahead planning gradient for the first time, wherein a granularity of a PMP for a respective task node in the first search-tree is a function of the temporal distance of the respective task node from the first time.
