Abstract

Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provides augmented spherical image content based on detected attributes. For example, an example process may include obtaining a spherical image content (e.g., captured 180°/360°/surround video content) generated using a combination process that combines images that were captured within a particular time period by a multi-camera configuration, the multi-camera configuration includes a plurality of cameras oriented in different respective orientations, and the time period is below a threshold. The process may further include determining an attribute of the spherical image content corresponding to the multi-camera configuration or the combination process, generating virtual content based on the determined attribute, wherein at least a portion of the virtual content is configured to be congruent with the attribute of the spherical image content, and generating augmented spherical image content based on the spherical image content and the virtual content.
