Abstract

In one example, a method performed by a processing system including at least one processor includes acquiring a first item of media content from a user, where the first item of media content depicts a subject, acquiring a second item of media content, where the second item of media content depicts the subject, compositing the first item of media content and the second item of media content to create, within a metaverse of immersive content, an item of immersive content that depicts the subject, presenting the item of immersive content on a device operated by the user, and adapting the presenting of the item of immersive content in response to a choice made by the user.
