1. A method comprising:
at an electronic device including one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a translucent display:
obtaining a plurality of light superposition characteristic values associated with ambient light from a physical environment, wherein the ambient light emanates from the physical environment towards one side of the translucent display and the plurality of light superposition characteristic values quantifies interactions with the ambient light;
determining a plurality of display correction values associated with the electronic device based on the plurality of light superposition characteristic values and a predetermined display characteristic of a computer-generated reality (CGR) object; and
changing a tint level associated with the translucent display in accordance with the plurality of display correction values in order to satisfy the predetermined display characteristic of the CGR object within a performance threshold.
