Audio data or image data is obtained from a sensor at the physical environment during the CGR experience and an emotional state or direction of attention of a second person other than the first user is detected based on the audio data or image data. A notification or other change is provided in the CGR experience based on detecting the emotional state or direction of attention of the second person.
