Abstract

Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for displaying supplemental content for two-dimensional content that is being played back in a three-dimensional environment at an electronic device. In some examples, while a content item is displayed in a virtual playback user interface in a three-dimensional environment, the electronic device displays a three-dimensional representation corresponding to the content item in the three-dimensional environment. In some examples, the three-dimensional representation includes a representation of a venue of the event and/or representations of participants in the event. In some examples, portions of the venue and/or a subset of the participants in the event that are not currently displayed/visible in the camera view of the broadcast/stream of the content item are included in the three-dimensional representation. In some examples, the three-dimensional representation is configurable to be interacted with independently of the display of the content item in the three-dimensional environment.
