An electronic device displays an image during a communication between two people. The image represents one of the people to the communication. The electronic device determines a location where to place the image and displays the image such that the image appears to exist at the location.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- at a first electronic device in communication with a display and one or more sensors:
- presenting, via the display, an environment including one or more physical locations in a field of view of the first electronic device;
- while presenting the environment, detecting, via the one or more sensors, a first input corresponding to a request to enter into electronic communication with a second electronic device;
- and
- in response to detecting the first input:
- analyzing at least a subset of the one or more physical locations in the field of view of the first electronic device;
- determining a first location in the environment;
- and
- entering into the electronic communication with the second electronic device, including:
- in accordance with a determination that a first set of criteria is satisfied based on the analyzing of at least the subset of the one or more physical locations, displaying, via the display, a virtual object representing a user of the second electronic device at the first location in the environment;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first set of criteria is not satisfied based on the analyzing of at least the subset of the one or more physical locations, displaying the virtual object representing the user of the second electronic device at a second location, different from the first location, in the environment.

A first electronic device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory;
- and
- one or more programs stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for performing a method comprising:
- presenting, via a display, an environment including one or more physical locations in a field of view of the first electronic device;
- while presenting the environment, detecting, via one or more sensors, a first input corresponding to a request to enter into electronic communication with a second electronic device;
- and
- in response to detecting the first input:
- analyzing at least a subset of the one or more physical locations in the field of view of the first electronic device;
- determining a first location in the environment;
- and
- entering into the electronic communication with the second electronic device, including:
- in accordance with a determination that a first set of criteria is satisfied based on the analyzing of at least the subset of the one or more physical locations, displaying, via the display, a virtual object representing a user of the second electronic device at the first location in the environment;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first set of criteria is not satisfied based on the analyzing of at least the subset of the one or more physical locations, displaying the virtual object representing the user of the second electronic device at a second location, different from the first location, in the environment.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a first electronic device, cause the first electronic device to perform a method comprising:
- presenting, via a display, an environment including one or more physical locations in a field of view of the first electronic device;
- while presenting the environment, detecting, via one or more sensors, a first input corresponding to a request to enter into electronic communication with a second electronic device;
- and
- in response to detecting the first input:
- analyzing at least a subset of the one or more physical locations in the field of view of the first electronic device;
- determining a first location in the environment;
- and
- entering into the electronic communication with the second electronic device, including:
- in accordance with a determination that a first set of criteria is satisfied based on the analyzing of at least the subset of the one or more physical locations, displaying, via the display, a virtual object representing a user of the second electronic device at the first location in the environment;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first set of criteria is not satisfied based on the analyzing of at least the subset of the one or more physical locations, displaying the virtual object representing the user of the second electronic device at a second location, different from the first location, in the environment.
