A computer generated 3D environment can include one or more free-space pins not permanently associated with any objects in the 3D environment. Objects in the 3D environment can be associated with one or more of the free-space pins, so that input at a selected free-space pin can cause manipulation of the objects associated with the selected free-space pin. For example, the selected free-space pin can be used as a temporary locus of manipulation (e.g., for rotation, movement, resizing, etc.) of the temporarily associated objects and/or can define a reference point for an action or behavior of one or more objects. A manipulator can be displayed when a free-space pin is selected to assist in receiving manipulation input.

Techniques for manipulating computer-generated objects in a computer graphics editor or environment

Computer generated objects can be associated with a plurality of bookmarked pins. In some embodiments, one pin of the plurality of bookmarked pins can be designated as an object origin and one or more other pins of the plurality of bookmarked pins can be used for other actions during editing in the computer graphics editing environment. For example, the one or more other pins can be used as a temporary locus of manipulation (e.g., for rotation, movement, resizing, etc.). The plurality of bookmarked pins can be selectable to display a manipulator element corresponding to a selected pin.

Techniques for manipulating computer-generated objects

In one implementation, a method of changing an audio property of an object is performed at a device including one or more processors coupled to non-transitory memory. The method includes displaying, using a display, a representation of a scene including a representation of an object associated with an audio property. The method includes displaying, using the display, in association with the representation of the object, a manipulator indicating a value of the audio property. The method includes receiving, using one or more input devices, a user input interacting with the manipulator. The method includes, in response to receiving the user input, changing the value of the audio property based on the user input and displaying, using the display, the manipulator indicating the changed value of the audio property.

Methods and systems for manipulating audio properties of objects

The method performed at an electronic device including one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a depth sensor includes: obtaining a task associated with a physical object within a physical environment; obtaining a task associated with a physical object within a physical environment; obtaining depth information, via the depth sensor, associated with the physical environment; determining one or more measurements for the physical object based at least in part on the depth information; generating a graphical overlay for the task based at least in part on the task associated with the physical object and the one or more measurements for the physical object; and causing presentation of the graphical overlay relative to a representation of the physical object, wherein the representation is obtained using sensor readings of the physical object.

Method and device for measuring physical objects

Various implementations disclosed herein include a method performed by a device. While executing a CGR application, the method includes displaying a three-dimensional object in a three-dimensional space, wherein the three-dimensional space is defined by a three-dimensional coordinate system. The method also includes: detecting a first user input directed to the three-dimensional object; and in response to detecting the first user input, displaying a spatial manipulation user interface element including a set of spatial manipulation affordances respectively associated with a set of spatial manipulations of the three-dimensional object, wherein each of the set of spatial manipulations corresponds to a translational movement of the three-dimensional object along a corresponding axis of the three-dimensional space.

Various implementations disclosed herein include a method performed by a device. The method includes displaying a three-dimensional object in a three-dimensional space. The method includes displaying a spatial manipulation user interface element including a set of spatial manipulation affordances respectively associated with a set of spatial manipulations of the three-dimensional object. Each of the set of spatial manipulations corresponds to a translational movement of the three-dimensional object along a corresponding axis of the three-dimensional space. The method includes detecting a first user input directed to a first spatial manipulation affordance of the spatial manipulation affordance. The first spatial manipulation affordance is associated with a first axis of the three-dimensional space. The method includes, in response to detecting the first user input directed to the first spatial manipulation affordance, translationally moving the three-dimensional object along the first axis of the three-dimensional space.

Electronic device with graphical user interface

A method includes displaying a spatial manipulation user interface element including a first set of spatial manipulation affordances respectively associated with a first set of spatial manipulations of a three-dimensional object. The first set of spatial manipulations is based on a first virtual camera perspective. The method includes, in response to detecting a user input changing the first virtual camera perspective to a second virtual camera perspective, changing display of the three-dimensional object from the first virtual camera perspective to the second virtual camera perspective, and displaying a second set of spatial manipulation affordances respectively associated with a second set of spatial manipulations. The second set of spatial manipulations is based on the second virtual camera perspective, and includes a spatial manipulation excluded from the first set of spatial manipulations. The first set of spatial manipulations includes a spatial manipulation excluded from the second set of spatial manipulations.
