A computer system with a display generation component and one or more input devices displays a representation of a physical object that has a first respective object property and a virtual object that does not spatially overlap with the physical object. The system moves the virtual object based on movement of an input. If the movement of the input corresponds to a request to move the virtual object to a physical space that is not occupied by a physical object, the system moves the virtual object by a first amount. If the movement of the first input corresponds to a request to move the virtual object to a physical space that at least partially overlaps with the first physical object, the system moves the virtual object by a second amount, less than the first amount.

Systems, methods, and graphical user interfaces for modeling, measuring, and drawing using augmented reality

An electronic device with a display and sensor(s) to detect location of an input object displays a first user interface object. The device detects an input object at a first hover location that meets first hover proximity criteria with respect to the first user interface object. After detecting the input object at the first hover location, the device detects movement of the input object away from the first hover location. In response to detecting movement of the input object away from the first hover location: in accordance with a determination that the input object meets first augmented hover proximity criteria, the device performs a first operation associated with the movement of the input object; and in accordance with a determination that the input object does not meet the first augmented hover proximity criteria, the device forgoes performing the first operation.

Devices, methods, and user interfaces for interacting with user interface objects via proximity-based inputs

A computer system displays virtual objects overlaid on a view of a physical environment as a virtual effect. The computer system displays respective animated movements of the virtual objects over the view of the physical environment, wherein the respective animated movements are constrained in accordance with a direction of simulated gravity associated with the view of the physical environment. If current positions of virtual objects during the respective animated movement of the virtual objects corresponds to different surfaces at different heights detected in the view of the physical environment, the computer constrains the respective animated movements of the virtual objects in accordance with the different surfaces detected in the view of the physical environment.

Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for depth-based annotation

A device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a user interface including an object. While displaying the user interface, the device detects a first and a second portion of an input, where the first portion includes contact(s) at a location corresponding to the object and the second portion includes movement of the contact(s). In response: upon determining that the second portion was detected shortly after detecting the contact(s): when the first input has a first predefined number of contacts, the device drags the user interface object or a representation; and when the first input has a second predefined number of contacts, the device forgoes the dragging. Further in response, upon determining that the second portion was detected after the contact(s) had been detected at the location for at least the first threshold amount of time, the device drags the user interface object or the representation thereof.

Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for moving user interface objects

An electronic device that is in communication with a display generation component, and sensor(s) to detect location of an input object displays a content selection object within selectable content, wherein the content selection object includes a first edge and a second edge. The device detects an input by the input object, including detecting the input object at a first hover location that corresponds to the first edge of the content selection object. In response to detecting the first portion of the input: in accordance with a determination that the first portion of the input meets first criteria that require the input object meets proximity criteria with respect to the content selection object, the device changes an appearance of the first edge relative to the second edge of the content selection object to indicate that the first edge will be selected for movement when the input object meets second criteria.
