The present disclosure generally relates to managing live communication sessions. A computer system optionally displays an option to invite the respective user to join the ongoing communication session. A computer system optionally one or more options to modify an appearance of an avatar representing the user of the computer system. A computer system optionally transitions a communication session from a spatial communication session to a non-spatial communication session. A computer system optionally displays information about a participant in a communication session.

User interfaces for managing live communication sessions

A display and vision correction system includes a head-mounted display unit, a glasses frame, and a removable lens assembly. The head-mounted display unit is configured to be worn on a head of a user and includes a display for providing graphical content to the user. The glasses frame is configured to be worn on the head of the user. The removable lens assembly is removably coupleable to the head-mounted display unit and to the glasses frame. The removable lens assembly includes a corrective lens element.

Display and vision correction system with removable lens

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 enhances a two-dimensional drawing. In some embodiments, an electronic device manipulates an object in a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, an electronic device displays a contextual menu or moving an object in a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, an electronic device moves an object in a three-dimensional environment by an amount based on the distance of the object from the user. In some embodiments, an electronic device scans a real world object. In some embodiments, an electronic device manipulates a distant object.

Methods for manipulating objects in an environment

The present disclosure generally relates to techniques and user interfaces for controlling and displaying representations of user in environments, such as during a live communication session and/or a live collaboration session.

Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for controlling avatars within three-dimensional environments

An input device can include a housing defining an internal volume and a lower portion, the lower portion defining an aperture, an input sensor disposed in the internal volume, and a haptic assembly disposed in the internal volume. The haptic assembly can include an actuator and a foot coupled to the actuator and aligned with the aperture. The actuator can be configured to selectively extend the foot through the aperture to vary a sliding resistance of the input device on a support surface.

Variable friction and multi-texture mouse

A computer input system includes a mouse including a housing having an interior surface defining an internal volume and a sensor assembly disposed in the internal volume. A processor is electrically coupled to the sensor assembly and a memory component having electronic instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to determine an orientation of the mouse relative to a hand based on a touch input from the hand detected by the sensor assembly. The mouse can also have a circular array of touch sensors or lights that detect hand position and provide orientation information to the user.

Input device with adaptive grip orientation

A head-mounted display includes a display unit and a facial interface. The display unit includes a display for displaying graphical content to a user. The facial interface is coupled to the display unit and configured to engage a face of the user to support the display unit thereon. The facial interface includes an upper portion that engages a forehead of the user and side portions that engage temple regions of the user. The facial interface converts forward force applied to the upper portion by the forehead into inward force applied by side portions to the temple regions.

Head-mounted display and facial interface thereof

A head-mounted display includes a display unit, a head support, and a balancing mass. The display unit displays graphical content to a user. The head support is coupled to the display to support the display unit on a head of the user for displaying the graphical content thereto. The balancing mass is movable relative to the display unit to offset changes in torque induced by the display unit when tilting the head-mounted display.

Head-mounted display with changeable center of gravity

In some embodiments, a computer system displays a representation of a user associated with an external computer system and the representation includes a visual indication of a portion of a body of the user that is generated based on indirect information of a state of the portion of the body of the user. In some embodiments, a computer system displays one or more portions of a representation of a user with different appearances based on whether the computer system receives information that the one or more portions of the representation are positioned with predefined regions of a physical environment in which the user is located.

Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for displaying a representation of a user in an extended reality environment

A facial interface for a head-mounted display, which is to be worn on a head of a user, includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion engages an upper facial region above eyes of the user. The lower portion that engages a lower facial region below the eyes of the user. The lower portion has a lower shear compliance in that is greater than an upper shear compliance of the upper portion.

Head-mounted display unit with adaptable facial interface

A head-mounted display includes a display unit and a facial interface. The display unit displays graphical content to the user. The facial interface is removably coupleable to the display unit and engages a facial engagement region of a face of the user whereby the display unit is supported on the face of the user. The facial interface includes a physiological sensor for sensing a physiological condition of the user in the facial engagement region.
