Content transformations based on reflective object recognition

A device comprising:

• a sensor;
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprises program instructions that, when executed on the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining sensor data from the sensor of the device in a physical environment that includes one or more objects;
• detecting a reflective surface of a reflective object amongst the one or more objects based on the sensor data and detecting a reflection of the device upon the reflective surface of the reflective object;
• determining a three-dimensional (3D) position of the reflective object in the physical environment based on determining a 3D position of the reflection of the device;
• and
• presenting virtual content within a view of an extended reality (XR) environment that includes a view of the physical environment, wherein the virtual content is positioned at a 3D location within the view of the XR environment based on the determined 3D position of the reflective object in the physical environment.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing computer-executable program instructions on a device to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining sensor data from the sensor of an electronic device in a physical environment that includes one or more objects;
• detecting a reflective surface of a reflective object amongst the one or more objects based on the sensor data and detecting a reflection of the electronic device upon the reflective surface of the reflective object;
• determining a three-dimensional (3D) position of the reflective object in the physical environment based on determining a 3D position of the reflection of the electronic device;
• and
• presenting virtual content within a view of an extended reality (XR) environment that includes a view of the physical environment, wherein the virtual content is positioned at a 3D location within the view of the XR environment based on the determined 3D position of the reflective object in the physical environment.
