Abstract

In an exemplary process for providing content in an augmented reality environment, image data correspond to a physical environment are obtained. Based on the image data, predefined entities of the plurality of predefined entities in the physical environment are identified using classifiers corresponding to predefined entities. Based on the one or more of the identified predefined entities, a geometric layout of the physical environment is determined. Based on the geometric layout, an area corresponding to a particular entity is determined. The particular entity corresponds to one or more identified predefined entities. Based on the area corresponding to the particular entity, the particular entity in the physical environment is identified using classifiers corresponding to the determined area. Based on the identified particular entity, a type of the physical environment is determined. Based on the type of the physical environment, virtual-reality objects are displayed corresponding to a representation of the physical environment.
