Abstract
First content may be obtained in response to identifying a first physical element of a first object type. The first content may be associated with the first object type. Second content may be obtained in response to identifying a second physical element of a second object type. The second content may be associated with the second object type. The second physical element may be detected as being within a threshold distance of the first physical element. Third content may be generated based on a combination of the first content and the second content. The third content may be associated with a third object type that is different from the first object type and the second object type. The third content may be displayed on the display.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- at a device including an environmental sensor, a display, a non-transitory memory, and one or more processors coupled with the non-transitory memory:
- obtaining first content in response to identifying a first physical element of a first object type, wherein the first content is associated with the first object type;
- obtaining second content in response to identifying a second physical element of a second object type, wherein the second content is associated with the second object type;
- detecting that the second physical element is within a threshold distance of the first physical element;
- generating third content based on a combination of the first content and the second content, wherein the third content is associated with a third object type that is different from the first object type and the second object type;
- and
- displaying the third content on the display.
A device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a non-transitory memory;
- one or more displays;
- and
- one or more programs stored in the non-transitory memory, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:
- obtain first content in response to identifying a first physical element of a first object type, wherein the first content is associated with the first object type;
- obtain second content in response to identifying a second physical element of a second object type, wherein the second content is associated with the second object type;
- detect that the second physical element is within a threshold distance of the first physical element;
- generate third content based on a combination of the first content and the second content, wherein the third content is associated with a third object type that is different from the first object type and the second object type;
- and
- display the third content on the display.
A non-transitory memory storing one or more programs, which, when executed by one or more processors of a device with a display, cause the device to:
- obtain first content in response to identifying a first physical element of a first object type, wherein the first content is associated with the first object type;
- obtain second content in response to identifying a second physical element of a second object type, wherein the second content is associated with the second object type;
- detect that the second physical element is within a threshold distance of the first physical element;
- generate third content based on a combination of the first content and the second content, wherein the third content is associated with a third object type that is different from the first object type and the second object type;
- and
- display the third content on the display.
