Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that enable a first device to obtain two-dimensional (2D) content referenced by a webpage and a second device in communication with the first device to display 3D content referenced by the webpage. In an example, it is detected that the webpage references 3D content associated with 2D content and detected that a second device, capable of displaying the 3D content referenced by the webpage, is linked to or in communication with the first device. In one example, the second device receives input corresponding to a user selection to view the 3D content, and in response, displays an 3D environment including the 3D content.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions that are computer-executable to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining two-dimensional (2D) content referenced by a content item for display via an application on a display of a first device;
- detecting that the content item references three-dimensional (3D) content associated with the 2D content;
- detecting that a second device is in communication with the first device, wherein the second device is capable of displaying the 3D content referenced by the content item;
- and
- identifying the 3D content referenced by the content item to the second device.
A method comprising:
- at a first device comprising a processor, a computer-readable storage medium, an image sensor, and a display:
- obtaining image data representing a physical environment using the image sensor;
- detecting that a second device is depicted in the image data, wherein the second device displays two-dimensional (2D) content referenced by a content item without three-dimensional (3D) content referenced by the content item;
- based on the detecting, obtaining the 3D content referenced by the content item;
- and
- providing a view of a 3D environment that includes the 3D content referenced by the content item for display on the display.
A system comprising:
- an electronic device with a display and an image sensor;
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that upon execution by the processor cause the system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- obtaining two-dimensional (2D) content referenced by a webpage for display on a display of a first device;
- detecting that the webpage references three-dimensional (3D) content associated with the 2D content;
- detecting that a second device is in communication with the first device, wherein the second device is capable of displaying the 3D content referenced by the webpage;
- and
- identifying the 3D content referenced by the webpage to the second device.
