Original Abstract Submitted
In some examples, a first electronic device presents a computer-generated environment, the first electronic device being at a first location relative to a first origin in a first physical environment of a user of the first electronic device, and having a first orientation relative to the first origin. In some examples, the first electronic device detects a request to display a portal through which to visually communicate with a user of the second electronic device, the second electronic device being at a second location relative to a second origin in a second physical environment of the user of the second electronic device and having a second orientation relative to the second origin. In some examples, in response to the request, the first electronic device displays a portal including a representation of the user of the second electronic device that is oriented based on the second location and the second orientation.
