In some embodiments, a computer system selectively recenters virtual content to a viewpoint of a user, in the presence of physical or virtual obstacles, and/or automatically recenters one or more virtual objects in response to the display generation component changing state, selectively recenters content associated with a communication session between multiple users in response detected user input, changes the visual prominence of content included in virtual objects based on viewpoint and/or based on a detected user attention of a user, modifies visual prominence of one or more virtual objects to resolve apparent obscuring of the one or more virtual objects, modifies visual prominence based on user viewpoint relative to virtual objects, concurrently modifies visual prominence based various types of user interaction, and/or changes an amount of visual impact of an environmental effect in response to detected user input.

Methods for displaying and repositioning objects in an environment

Display screen or portion thereof with animated graphical user interface having a three-dimensional appearance

In one implementation, a method of activating a user interface element is performed at a device including an input device, an eye tracker, a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes displaying, on the display, a plurality of user interface elements and receiving, via the input device, a user input corresponding to an input location. The method includes determining, using the eye tracker, a gaze location. The method includes, in response to determining that the input location is at least a threshold distance from the gaze location, activating a first user interface element at the gaze location and, in response to determining that it is not, activating a second user interface element at the input location.

Methods and systems for changing a display based on user input and gaze

Computer display system or portion thereof showing an animated graphical user interface having a three dimensional appearance

In some embodiments, an electronic device emphasizes and/or deemphasizes user interfaces based on the gaze of a user. In some embodiments, an electronic device defines levels of immersion for different user interfaces independently of one another. In some embodiments, an electronic device resumes display of a user interface at a previously-displayed level of immersion after (e.g., temporarily) reducing the level of immersion associated with the user interface. In some embodiments, an electronic device allows objects, people, and/or portions of an environment to be visible through a user interface displayed by the electronic device. In some embodiments, an electronic device reduces the level of immersion associated with a user interface based on characteristics of the electronic device and/or physical environment of the electronic device.

Methods for adjusting and/or controlling immersion associated with user interfaces

The present disclosure relates to techniques for improving a user experience for modifying display of an avatar in XR environments. In some embodiments, the techniques include modifying a portion of an avatar based on one or more heuristics. In some embodiments, the techniques include modifying a portion of an avatar after tracking is lost.

Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for modifying avatars in three-dimensional environments

In some embodiments, an electronic device updates the spatial arrangement of one or more virtual objects in a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, an electronic device updates the positions of multiple virtual objects together. In some embodiments, an electronic device displays objects in a three-dimensional environment based on an estimated location of a floor in the three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, an electronic device moves (e.g., repositions) objects in a three-dimensional environment.

Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for presenting virtual objects in virtual environments

Techniques for controlling and/or moving a cursor, such as by using air gestures, are described.

Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for using a cursor to interact with three-dimensional environments

Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that create a 3D video that includes determining first adjustments (e.g., first transforms) to video frames (e.g., one or more RGB images and depth images per frame) to align content in a coordinate system to remove the effects of capturing camera motion. Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that playback a 3D video and includes determining second adjustments (e.g., second transforms) to remove the effects of movement of a viewing electronic device relative to a viewing environment during playback of the 3D video. Some implementations distinguish static content and moving content of the video frames to playback only moving objects or facilitate concurrent playback of multiple spatially related 3D videos. The 3D video may include images, audio, or 3D video of a video-capture-device user.

Spatial video capture and replay

In some embodiments, an electronic device enhances interactions with virtual objects in a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, an electronic device enhances interactions with selectable user interface elements. In some embodiments, an electronic device enhances interactions with slider user interface elements. In some embodiments, an electronic device moves virtual objects in a three-dimensional environment and facilitates accessing actions associated with virtual objects.

Methods for interacting with virtual controls and/or an affordance for moving virtual objects in virtual environments

A method is performed at an electronic device including one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a display. The method includes obtaining a first volumetric object associated with a first content region. The first content region is associated with a first tab. The method includes generating a first volumetric representation of the first volumetric object based on a function of the first tab. The first volumetric representation is displayable within the first tab. The method includes concurrently displaying, on the display, the first content region and the first volumetric representation within the first tab. In some implementations, the method includes changing a view of the first volumetric representation, such as rotating the first volumetric representation or according to a positional change to the electronic device. In some implementations, the method includes generating a plurality of volumetric representations and classifying the plurality of volumetric representations.

Displaying a volumetric representation within a tab

In accordance with various implementations, a method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a display. The method includes determining an engagement score that characterizes a level of engagement between a user and a first object. The first object is located at a first location on the display. The method includes determining an interruption priority value that characterizes a relative importance of signaling a presence of a second object to the user. The second object is detectable by the electronic device. In some implementations, the method includes presenting the second object according to one or more output modalities of the electronic device. The method includes, in response to determining that the engagement score and the interruption priority value collectively together satisfy an interruption condition, presenting a notification.

Presenting a notification based on an engagement score and an interruption priority value

Examples are disclosed that relate to computing devices, head-mounted display devices, and methods for displaying a capture indicator within a virtual world. In one example, a method comprises displaying, via a display subsystem, a virtual world; receiving, from a sensor, location data defining a user pose; using the user pose to define a camera pose; generating a capture indicator corresponding to the camera pose; and displaying the capture indicator within the virtual world.
