Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that display visual content as part of a 3D environment and add audio corresponding to the visual content. The audio may be spatialized to be from one or more audio source locations within the 3D environment. For example, a video may be presented on a virtual surface within an extended reality (XR) environment while audio associated with the video is spatialized to sound as if it is produced from an audio source location corresponding to that virtual surface. How the audio is provided may be determined based on the position of the viewer (e.g., the user or his/her device) relative to the presented visual content.

Visual content presentation with viewer position-based audio

Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that create a 3D video that includes determining first adjustments (e.g., first transforms) to video frames (e.g., one or more RGB images and depth images per frame) to align content in a coordinate system to remove the effects of capturing camera motion. Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that playback a 3D video and includes determining second adjustments (e.g., second transforms) to remove the effects of movement of a viewing electronic device relative to a viewing environment during playback of the 3D video. Some implementations distinguish static content and moving content of the video frames to playback only moving objects or facilitate concurrent playback of multiple spatially related 3D videos. The 3D video may include images, audio, or 3D video of a video-capture-device user.

Spatial video capture and replay

Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that that modify audio of played back AV content based on context in accordance with some implementations. In some implementations audio-visual content of a physical environment is obtained, and the audio-visual content includes visual content and audio content that includes a plurality of audio portions corresponding to the visual content. In some implementations, a context for presenting the audio-visual content is determined, and a temporal relationship between one or more audio portions of the plurality of audio portions and the visual content is determined based on the context. Then, synthesized audio-visual content is presented based on the temporal relationship.
