A computer system displays, in a three-dimensional environment, a computer-generated object; detects that a user's attention is directed to the object; and in response, displays a virtual shadow for the object with a first appearance, including displaying the shadow with a first value for a first visual property, while maintaining a pose of the object relative to the three-dimensional environment. While continuing to display the object in the three-dimensional environment, the computer system detects that the user's attention has ceased to be directed to the object; and in response, displays the shadow for the object with a second appearance that is different from the first appearance, while maintaining the pose of the object relative to the three-dimensional environment. Displaying the shadow for the object with the second appearance includes displaying the shadow with a second value for the first visual property. The second value is different from the first value.

Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for displaying shadow and light effects in three-dimensional environments

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

Display screen or portion thereof with graphical user interface

Computer display system or portion thereof showing an animated graphical user interface

Devices, methods, and graphical interfaces for content applications displayed in an XR environment provide for an efficient and intuitive user experience. In some embodiments, a content application is displayed in a three-dimensional computer-generated environment. In some embodiments, different viewing modes and user interfaces are available for a content application in a three-dimensional computer-generated environment. In some embodiments, different interactions are available with content items displayed in the XR environment.

Devices, methods and graphical user interfaces for content applications

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

A computer system concurrently displays a view of a physical environment; and a computer-generated user interface element overlaid on the view of the physical environment. An appearance of the computer-generated user interface element is based on an appearance of the view of the physical environment on which the computer-generated user interface element is overlaid. In response to an appearance of the physical environment changing, the appearance of the computer-generated user interface element is updated at a first time based on a graphical composition of the appearance of one or more portions of the physical environment at different times prior to the first time, including: an appearance of a first portion of the physical environment at a second time that is before the first time; and an appearance of a second portion of the physical environment at a third time that is before the second time.
