Performing the duty cycle control operations includes receiving data representing virtual content in an extended reality environment associated with a wearable extended reality appliance; identifying in the extended reality environment a first display region and a second display region separated from the first display region; determining a first duty cycle configuration for the first display region; determining a second duty cycle configuration for the second display region, wherein the second duty cycle configuration differs from the first duty cycle configuration; and causing the wearable extended reality appliance to display the virtual content in accordance with the determined first duty cycle configuration for the first display region and the determined second duty cycle configuration for the second display region.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media including instructions for extracting content from a virtual display are disclosed. Extracting content from a virtual display includes generating a virtual display via a wearable extended reality appliance, wherein the virtual display presents a group of virtual objects and is located at a first virtual distance from the wearable extended reality appliance; generating an extended reality environment via the wearable extended reality appliance including at least one additional virtual object at a second virtual distance from the wearable extended reality appliance; receiving input for causing a specific virtual object to move from the virtual display to the extended reality environment; and in response, generating a presentation of a version of the specific virtual object in the extended reality environment at a third virtual distance different from the first virtual distance and the second virtual distance.

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are provided for enabling collaboration between writers. In one implementation, the computer-readable medium includes instructions to cause a processor to receive, from an image sensor associated with a wearable extended reality appliance, image data representing a physical surface, the physical surface being a compilation of pages; receive, from a computing device associated with a virtual writer, annotation data representing first virtual markings associated with a first page of the compilation and second virtual markings associated with a second page of the compilation; analyze the image data to determine that the compilation is opened to the first page; and cause the wearable extended reality appliance to overlay the first virtual markings on the first page of the compilation and exclude overlaying the second virtual markings on the first page of the compilation.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media including instructions for managing privacy in an extended reality environment are disclosed. The instructions include receiving image data of a physical environment from an image sensor associated with a wearable extended reality appliance; accessing data characterizing virtual objects in the physical environment, the data representing a first and a second virtual object; accessing privacy settings classifying a first physical location of the first virtual object as private, classifying a first appliance as approved for presenting private information, and classifying a second appliance as non-approved for presenting the private information; and based on the privacy settings, simultaneously enabling a presentation of an augmented viewing of the physical environment, such that the first appliance presents the first and the second virtual objects in the physical environment, and the second appliance presents the only second virtual object, in compliance with the privacy settings.

Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for performing operations for presenting content in three dimensional (3D) environments. Performing operations for presenting content in 3D environments includes: requesting content for virtual presentation in an environment of an extended reality appliance; receiving the content for presentation in the environment; receiving with the content, a plurality of tags, each of the plurality of tags being associated with a portion of the content; capturing, using an image sensor, a layout of the environment; for each tag, selecting, based on the tag, a 3D placement requirement for the content portion associated with the tag; and for each content portion, determining, based on the layout of the environment and the 3D placement requirement selected for the respective content portion, a location in the environment for virtual placement of the respective content portion.

A method for augmenting a physical display with an extended reality display. A processor receives first signals representative of a first object fully presented on a physical display, second signals representative of a second object having a first portion presented on the physical display and a second portion extending beyond a border of the physical display, and third signals representative of a third object initially presented on the physical display and subsequently wholly moved beyond the border of the physical display. In response to receiving the second signals, the second portion is presented via a wearable extended reality appliance in a virtual space while the first portion is presented on the physical display. In response to receiving the third signals, the third object is wholly presented via the wearable extended reality appliance in the virtual space following the third object having been wholly presented on the physical display.

Performing operations for presenting content in 3D environments includes: requesting content for virtual presentation in an environment of an extended reality appliance; receiving the content for presentation in the environment; receiving with the content, a plurality of tags, each of the plurality of tags being associated with a portion of the content; capturing, using an image sensor, a layout of the environment; for each tag, selecting, based on the tag, a 3D placement requirement for the content portion associated with the tag; and for each content portion, determining, based on the layout of the environment and the 3D placement requirement selected for the respective content portion, a location in the environment for virtual placement of the respective content portion.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media including instructions for presenting information in a first display region having predefined boundaries, the information manipulatable via a user interface presentable in the first display region; presenting, via a wearable extended reality appliance, a second display region beyond the predefined boundaries of the first display region, wherein the second display region is visible via the wearable extended reality appliance; providing a control for altering a location of the user interface, wherein in a first mode, the user interface is presented in the first display region while the information is presented in the first display region and in a second mode, the user interface is presented in the second display region outside the predefined boundaries of the first display region while the information is presented in the first display region; and enabling toggling between the first mode and the second mode via the control.

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable media are provided for incremental convergence in an extended reality environment during virtual object selection. In one implementation, the computer-readable medium may contain instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to display a plurality of dispersed virtual objects across a plurality of virtual regions, the plurality of virtual regions including at least a first virtual region and a second virtual region that differs from the first virtual region; receive an initial kinesics input tending toward the first virtual region; highlight a group of adjacent virtual objects in the first virtual region based on the initial kinesics input; receive a refined kinesics input tending toward a particular virtual object from among the highlighted group of adjacent virtual objects; and trigger a functionality associated with the particular virtual object based on the refined kinesics input.
