The present disclosure generally relates to navigating user interfaces using a cursor.

Navigating user interfaces using a cursor

While a view of a three-dimensional environment is visible via a display generation component of a computer system, the computer system receives, from a user, one or more first user inputs corresponding to selection of a respective direction in the three-dimensional environment relative to a reference point associated with the user, and displays a ray extending from the reference point in the respective direction. While displaying the ray, the system displays a selection cursor moving along the ray independently of user input. When the selection cursor is at a respective position along the ray, the system receives one or more second user inputs corresponding to a request to stop the movement of the selection cursor along the ray and, in response, sets a target location for a next user interaction to a location in the three-dimensional environment that corresponds to the respective position of the selection cursor along the ray.
