Annotating extended reality presentations

A device that presents an extended reality presentation to a user, the device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the device to:
• identify a source channel of the extended reality presentation in a source modality;
• determine that the user has a deficit in the source modality;
• identify, in the extended reality presentation, an annotation set of annotations in an annotation modality that describe events in the source channel;
• and
• while presenting the extended reality presentation to the user, present the annotations of the annotation set in the annotation modality,
• wherein:
• the extended reality presentation further comprises:
• a first annotation set of annotations in a first annotation modality that describe the events in the source channel, and
• a second annotation set of annotations in a second annotation modality that describe the events in the source channel;
• and
• identifying the annotation set further comprises:
• between the first annotation modality and the second annotation modality, select a selected annotation modality for the user;
• and
• selecting the annotation set in the selected annotation modality for the extended reality presentation.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• identifying a source channel of an extended reality presentation in a source modality, wherein a selected event in the source channel further comprises a direction of the selected event relative to a perspective of a user in the extended reality presentation;
• determining that the user has a deficit in the source modality;
• identifying, in the extended reality presentation, an annotation set of annotations in an annotation modality that describe events in the source channel;
• and
• while presenting the extended reality presentation to the user, presenting the annotations of the annotation set in the annotation modality,
• wherein presenting the annotation modality further comprises:
• for each event in the source channel, presenting a directional cue that indicates, in the annotation modality, the direction of the event relative to the perspective of the user.

A method of presenting an extended reality presentation to a user, the method involving a device having a processor and comprising:

• executing, by the processor, instructions that cause the device to:
• identify a source channel of the extended reality presentation in a source modality;
• determine that the user has a deficit in the source modality;
• identify, in the extended reality presentation, an annotation set of annotations in an annotation modality that describe events in the source channel;
• and
• while presenting the extended reality presentation to the user, present the annotations of the annotation set in the annotation modality,
• wherein presenting the annotations of the annotation set further comprises:
• identifying an annotation limit of annotations to be presented in the annotation modality;
• and
• limiting the presenting of annotations in the annotation modality to the annotation limit.

A method of presenting an extended reality presentation to a user, the method involving a device having a processor and comprising:

• executing, by the processor, instructions that cause the device to:
• identify a source channel of the extended reality presentation in a source modality;
• determine that the user has a deficit in the source modality;
• identify, in the extended reality presentation, an annotation set of annotations in an annotation modality that describe events in the source channel;
• and
• while presenting the extended reality presentation to the user, present the annotations of the annotation set in the annotation modality,
• wherein presenting the annotations in the annotation modality further comprises:
• identifying a user context of the user within the extended reality presentation;
• among the events in the source channel, identifying an event subset of events in the source channel that relate to the user context;
• and
• limiting the presenting of annotations in the annotation modality to presenting the annotations of the event subset.

A method of presenting an extended reality presentation to a user, the method involving a device having a processor and comprising:

• executing, by the processor, instructions that cause the device to:
• identify a source channel of the extended reality presentation in a source modality;
• determine that the user has a deficit in the source modality;
• identify, in the extended reality presentation, an annotation set of annotations in an annotation modality that describe events in the source channel;
• and
• while presenting the extended reality presentation to the user, present the annotations of the annotation set in the annotation modality,
• wherein presenting the annotations in the annotation modality further comprises:
• detecting an event selection by the user of a selected event;
• and
• responsive to the event selection, presenting the annotation of the selected event in the annotation modality.

A method of presenting an extended reality presentation to a user, the method involving a device having a processor and comprising:

• executing, by the processor, instructions that cause the device to:
• identify a source channel of the extended reality presentation in a source modality;
• determine that the user has a deficit in the source modality;
• identify, in the extended reality presentation, an annotation set of annotations in an annotation modality that describe events in the source channel,
• wherein identifying the annotation set further comprises identifying, in the events in the source channel, an interaction event that permits user interaction within the extended reality presentation;
• and
• while presenting the extended reality presentation to the user, present the annotations of the annotation set in the annotation modality,
• wherein presenting the annotations further comprises presenting, in the annotation modality, an interaction annotation that indicates that the interaction event permits user interaction within the extended reality presentation.
