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

Some examples of the disclosure are directed to methods for application-based spatial refinement in a multi-user communication session including a first electronic device and a second electronic device. While the first electronic device is presenting a three-dimensional environment, the first electronic device receives an input corresponding to a request to move a shared object in the three-dimensional environment. In accordance with a determination that the shared object is an object of a first type, the first electronic device moves the shared object and an avatar of a user in the three-dimensional environment in accordance with the input. In accordance with a determination that the shared object is an object of a second type, different from the first type, and the input is a first type of input, the first electronic device moves the shared object in the three-dimensional environment in accordance with the input, without moving the avatar.

System and method of application-based three-dimensional refinement in multi-user communication sessions

Methods for displaying selectable options in a computer-generated environment provide for an efficient and intuitive user experience. In some embodiments, one or more selectable options are displayed in a three-dimensional computer-generated environment in accordance with the determination that the one or more criteria have been satisfied, including a criteria that a hand of the user is oriented in a predetermined manner with respect to an electronic device. In some embodiments, a user is able to perform one-handed actuation of a selectable option with a plurality of user inputs and/or gestures that satisfy one or more activation criteria.

Method of displaying selectable options

Computer display system or portion thereof showing a 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

In one implementation, a method of assisting in the rehearsal of a presentation is performed at a device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes obtaining a difficulty level for a rehearsal of a presentation. The method includes displaying, on the display, one or more slides of the presentation. The method includes displaying, on the display in association with a volumetric environment, one or more virtual objects based on the difficulty level.

Virtual presentation rehearsal

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

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

Methods for displaying user interfaces in a computer-generated environment provide for an efficient and intuitive user experience. In some embodiments, user interfaces can have different immersion levels. In some embodiments, a user interface can have a respective immersion level based on its location in the three-dimensional environment or distance from the user. In some embodiments, a user interface can have a respective immersion level based on the state of the user interface. In some embodiments, a user interface can switch from one immersion level to another in response to the user's interaction with the user interface.

Method of displaying user interfaces in an environment and corresponding electronic device and computer readable storage medium

Display screen or portion thereof with graphical user interface

In accordance with some embodiments, an exemplary process for controlling representations of virtual objects based on respective user contexts that each correspond to different respective locations in a computer-generated reality (CGR) environment is described.
