1. A device, comprising:
a processing system including a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
defining a plurality of requirements for a capture of source content in the physical world, wherein the plurality of requirements comprises: a timing requirement for the capture of the source content and includes a specification of an expiration time indicating a latest time that the source content will be accepted by the device, a requirement pertaining to a zoom level, and a requirement pertaining to a direction;
generating a request for the source content in accordance with the plurality of requirements;
obtaining first source content from a first content generator based on the generating;
determining, based on an analysis of the first source content, that the first source content fails to satisfy the requirement pertaining to the zoom level, the requirement pertaining to the direction, or a combination thereof;
based on the determining, issuing a command to the first content generator that instructs the first content generator to recapture the first source content in accordance with an adjustment to the zoom level used by the first content generator, an adjustment to the direction used by the first content generator, or a combination thereof;
obtaining, based on the issuing of the command, recaptured first source content;
generating a digital representation of the physical world based on the recaptured first source content; and
providing the digital representation as part of a package of content to a user equipment, the package of content including: an advertisement, gaming content, augmented reality content, virtual reality content, speech, videoconferencing content, voice context, text content, and social media activities.
