A computer system detects a hand at a first position in a first configuration while displaying a view of a three-dimensional environment. In response, the computer system displays a first visual indication at a first display location in the three-dimensional environment. The computer system detects a movement of the hand while displaying the first visual indication. In response, the computer system displays the first indication at a second display location if the movement maintains the configuration of the hand and moves the hand as a whole to a second position; or the computer system ceases to display the first visual indication and displays a second visual indication if the movement changes the configuration of the hand to a second configuration at the first position.

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

Systems and methods for rendering spatial audio in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a spatial audio system, including a primary network connected speaker, including a plurality of sets of drivers, where each set of drivers is oriented in a different direction, a processor system, memory containing an audio player application, wherein the audio player application configures the processor system to obtain an audio source stream from an audio source via the network interface, spatially encode the audio source, decode the spatially encoded audio source to obtain driver inputs for the individual drivers in the plurality of sets of drivers, where the driver inputs cause the drivers to generate directional audio.

Systems and methods for spatial audio rendering

An electronic device, while displaying a three-dimensional environment, including one or more virtual objects, detects gaze of a user directed toward a first virtual object in the three-dimensional environment. The gaze meets first criteria and the first virtual object is responsive to at least one gesture input. In response to detecting the gaze that meets the first criteria, in accordance with a determination that a hand is in a predefined ready state for providing gesture inputs, the electronic device displays an indication of one or more interaction options available for the first virtual object in the three-dimensional environment; and in accordance with a determination the hand is not in the predefined ready state for providing gesture inputs, the electronic device forgoes displaying the indication of one or more interaction options available for the first virtual object.

While displaying a three-dimensional scene including at least a first virtual object displayed with a first value corresponding to a first portion and a second value corresponding to a second portion of the first virtual object at a first location and a first physical surface at a second location, a computer system generates a first visual effect at the second location of the three-dimensional scene, including modifying a visual appearance of a first portion of the first physical surface in the three-dimensional scene in accordance with the first value for the first display property that corresponds to the first portion of the first virtual object; and modifying a visual appearance of a second portion of the first physical surface in the three-dimensional scene in accordance with the second value for the first display property that corresponds to the second portion of the first virtual object.

A computer system detects a wrist. In accordance with a determination that first criteria that require an inner side of the wrist facing toward a viewpoint are met, the computer system displays a first user interface object including a plurality of representations of different applications at a first position corresponding to a first location on the wrist. While displaying the first user interface object, the computer system detects that the wrist's position or orientation has changed to satisfying second criteria that requires an outer side of the wrist facing toward the viewpoint. In response, the computer system switches from displaying the first user interface object at the first position to displaying a second user interface object including a plurality of controls for controlling functions at a second position corresponding to a location on a back of a hand attached to the wrist.

Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for displaying applications in three-dimensional environments

A computing system, while displaying a first view of a first computer-generated three-dimensional environment including a representation of a respective portion of a physical environment, and a first representation of one or more projections of light in a first portion of the first computer-generated three-dimensional environment, detects, from a first user, a query directed to a virtual assistant. In response, the computer system displays animated changes of the first representation of the one or more projections of light in the first portion of the first computer-generated three-dimensional environment, including displaying a second representation of the one or more projections of light that is focused on a first sub-portion of the first portion, and then displays content responding to the query at a position corresponding to the first sub-portion of the first portion.

While displaying a three-dimensional environment, a computer system detects a hand at a first position that corresponds to a portion of the three-dimensional environment. In response to detecting the hand at the first position: in accordance with a determination that the hand is being held in a first predefined configuration, the computer system displays a visual indication of a first operation context for gesture input using hand gestures in the three-dimensional environment; and in accordance with a determination that the hand is not being held in the first predefined configuration, the computer system forgoes display of the visual indication.
