Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that adjusts operating modes for generating three-dimensional (3D) representations of a physical environment. For example, an example process may include acquiring sensor data by the one or more sensors in a physical environment and operating the device according to a first operating mode and a second operating mode during different periods of time. In the first operating mode (e.g., discovery mode), the device generates a 3D representation of the physical environment based on the sensor data and the device monitors one or more conditions to switch to the second operating mode. In the second operating mode (e.g., monitoring mode), the device monitors the one or more conditions to switch to the first operating mode and generates the 3D representation differently than the first operating mode.
