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

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

In some embodiments, an electronic device automatically updates the orientation of a virtual object in a three-dimensional environment based on a viewpoint of a user in the three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, an electronic device automatically updates the orientation of a virtual object in a three-dimensional environment based on viewpoints of a plurality of users in the three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, the electronic device modifies an appearance of a real object that is between a virtual object and the viewpoint of a user in a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, the electronic device automatically selects a location for a user in a three-dimensional environment that includes one or more virtual objects and/or other users.

Methods for manipulating objects in an environment

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

In some embodiments, a computer system receives data representing a pose of at least a first portion of a user and causes presentation of an avatar that includes a respective avatar feature corresponding to the first portion of the user and presented having a variable display characteristic that is indicative of a certainty of the pose of the first portion of the user. In some embodiments, a computer system receives data indicating current activity of one or more users is activity of a first type and, in response, updates a representation of a user having a first appearance based on a first appearance template. The system receives second data indicating current activity of the one or more users and, in response, updates the appearance of the representation of the first user based on the current activity of the one or more users using the first or a second appearance template.

Presenting avatars in three-dimensional environments

In some embodiments, an electronic device navigates between user interfaces based at least on detecting a gaze of the user. In some embodiments, an electronic device enhances interactions with control elements of user interfaces. In some embodiments, an electronic device scrolls representations of categories and subcategories in a coordinated manner. In some embodiments, an electronic device navigates back from user interfaces having different levels of immersion in different ways.

Methods for navigating user interfaces

A computer system performs techniques related to displaying a representation of a secure credential and using the secure credential. In some embodiments, a computer system detects that the computer system is physically near a vehicle. In some embodiments, a computer system permits a user access to use one or more functions of a vehicle using a secure credential.

Mobile key enrollment and use

In some embodiments, a computer system displays user interfaces for enrolling one or more features of a user of a computer system. In some embodiments, a computer system displays visual effects associated with a virtual avatar in an XR environment. In some embodiments, a computer system displays objects having different visual characteristics in an XR environment. In some embodiments, a computer system switches between different presentation modes associated with a user represented in an XR environment. In some embodiments, a computer system displays a virtual avatar in an XR environment.

Interfaces for presenting avatars in three-dimensional environments

A computer system performs techniques related to enrolling and using a secure credential. In some embodiments, a computer system provides user interfaces for enrolling a secure credential on the computer system. In some embodiments, a computer system provides user interfaces for inviting a user account to use a secure credential.

A computer system presents first computer-generated content. While presenting the first computer-generated content, the computer system detects first movement of a first user in a physical environment, and in response: in accordance with a determination that the first movement changes a spatial relationship between the first user and a second user in the physical environment from a first spatial relationship to a second spatial relationship and that the change in spatial relationship meets first criteria, the computer system changes one or more output properties of the first computer-generated content; and in accordance with the determination that the first movement changes the spatial relationship from the first spatial relationship to the second spatial relationship and that the change in spatial relationship does not meet the first criteria, the computer system presents the first computer-generated content without changing the one or more output properties of the first computer-generated content.

Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for interacting with three-dimensional environments

A computer system displays a first view of a three-dimensional environment, including a first user interface object having a first surface at a first position in the three-dimensional environment. While displaying the first view of the three-dimensional environment, the computer system detects a change in biometric data of a first user, and in response, changes an appearance of the first surface in the first user interface object in accordance with the change in biometric data of the first user. While displaying the first user interface object with the appearance that has been changed based on the change in the biometric data of the first user, the computer system detects first movement of the first user, and in response, changes the appearance of the first user interface object in accordance with the first movement of the first user.

A computer system displays a first computer-generated experience that includes displaying one or more virtual elements in a three-dimensional environment with a first appearance. While displaying the one or more virtual elements with the first appearance, the computer system receives biometric data corresponding to respiration of a first user. In response to receiving the biometric data: in accordance with a determination that the biometric data corresponding to the respiration of the first user meets first criteria, the computer system displays the one or more virtual elements in the three-dimensional environment with a second appearance that is different from the first appearance; and in accordance with a determination that the biometric data corresponding to the first user does not meet the first criteria, the computer system continues to display the one or more virtual elements in the three-dimensional environment with the first appearance.
