1. A method comprising:
at a device including a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the non-transitory memory:
detecting an image that corresponds to a geographic location;
obtaining a request to synthesize a three-dimensional (3D) environment based on the image; and
in response to obtaining the request:
determining a characteristic of the geographic location that is not depicted in the image; and
synthesizing the 3D environment based on the image and the characteristic of the geographic location.
