Ambience-driven user experience

A non-transitory memory storing one or more programs, which, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the device to:

• display, on a display, a representation of an operating environment;
• determine an engagement score associated with an object within the operating environment, wherein the engagement score characterizes a level of user engagement with respect to the object;
• and
• in response to determining that the engagement score satisfies an engagement criterion:
• obtain one or more semantic values of the object and generate an ambience vector associated with the object, wherein the ambience vector specifies at least one of a sound, a mood or weather conditions for the representation of the operating environment derived from the one or more semantic values of the object;
• and
• present content in the representation of the operating environment by outputting audio that corresponds to the sound or by displaying a virtual object that corresponds to the mood or the weather conditions specified by the ambience vector.

An electronic device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a non-transitory memory;
• a display;
• and
• one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the non-transitory memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• displaying, on the display, a representation of an operating environment;
• determining an engagement score associated with an object within the operating environment, wherein the engagement score characterizes a level of user engagement with respect to the object;
• and
• in response to determining that the engagement score satisfies an engagement criterion:
• obtain one or more semantic values of the object and generate an ambience vector associated with the object, wherein the ambience vector specifies at least one of a sound, a mood or weather conditions for the representation of the operating environment derived from the one or more semantic values of the object;
• and
• presenting content in the representation of the operating environment by outputting audio that corresponds to the sound or by displaying a virtual object that corresponds to the mood or the weather conditions specified by the ambience vector.
