A device may include a processor configured to receive, by a system process and from an application process, a visibility preference for an object type and segment one or more physical objects associated with the object type from an image of a physical environment. The processor is also configured to determine, by the system process, whether to display the one or more segmented physical objects based at least in part on the visibility preference. In response to a determination display the one or more segmented physical objects, the processor is configured to display at least a portion of the image corresponding to the one or more segmented physical objects. In response to a determination not to display the one or more segmented physical objects, the processor is configured to forgo displaying that at least a portion of the image corresponding to the one or more segmented physical objects.

Configurable extremity visibility

Simulating a 3D audio environment, including receiving a visual representation of an object at a location in a scene, wherein the location represents a point in 3D space, receiving a sound element, and binding the sound element to the visual representation of the object such that a characteristic of the sound element is dynamically modified coincident with a change in location in the scene of the visual representation of the object in 3D space.
