Abstract

Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide extended reality (XR) environments that include virtual content anchored to particular times and/or within physical environments. In some implementations, an XR environment is provided based on virtual content items (e.g., representing memories or past events) that are anchored to both physical locations and particular times along a timeline. This may involve selecting and providing virtual content items (e.g., representing memories) based on user input that selects a particular time, e.g., day, time, date/time range, etc. The content can include real and/or virtual content representing objects and/or people and may be the user's own private memories, memories shared by friends, or selected public memories.
