Original Abstract Submitted

Various implementations disclosed herein provide augmentations in extended reality (XR) using sensor data from a user worn device. The sensor data may be used understand that a user's state is associated with providing user assistance, e.g., a user's appearance or behavior or an understanding of the environment may be used to recognize a need or desire for user assistance. The augmentations may assist the user by enhancing or supplementing the user's abilities, e.g., providing guidance or other information about an environment to disabled/impaired person.
