In some embodiments, a computer system displays a caption for a media item at different depths depending on the depth of the portion of the media item over which the caption is displayed. In some embodiments, a computer system displays a user interface element that includes information associated with the media item at different locations relative to the media item depending on attention of the user. In some embodiments, a computer system displays a user interface element that includes information associated with the media item with different visual appearances depending on visual characteristics of the portion of the media item over which the user interface element is displayed.

Methods for displaying user interface elements relative to media content

In some embodiments, an electronic device selectively de-emphasizes a three-dimensional environment in which content is presented. In some embodiments, an electronic device modifies the boundaries of content in a user interface. In some embodiments, an electronic device shares content with users in a three-dimensional environment.

Methods for presenting and sharing content in an environment

The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for electronic devices, including user interfaces for real-time communications.

Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for real-time communication

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.

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

In some embodiments, an electronic device enhances interactions with virtual objects in a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, an electronic device enhances interactions with selectable user interface elements. In some embodiments, an electronic device enhances interactions with slider user interface elements. In some embodiments, an electronic device moves virtual objects in a three-dimensional environment and facilitates accessing actions associated with virtual objects.

Methods for interacting with virtual controls and/or an affordance for moving virtual objects in virtual environments

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

A computer system displays a view of at least a portion of a simulated three-dimensional space, and a view of a user interface object located within the simulated three-dimensional space. The user interface object is a representation of a computing device that has a non-immersive display environment that provides access to a plurality of different applications. The user interface object includes a first user interface that corresponds to the non-immersive display environment of the computing device and is responsive to touch inputs from a user on the input device, and a pose of the user interface object in the simulated three-dimensional space corresponds to a pose of the input device in a physical space surrounding the input device. In response to a touch input that corresponds to a respective location in the first user interface, an appearance of the first user interface is updated.

Systems, methods, and graphical user interfaces for interacting with virtual reality environments

While displaying a view of a virtual environment that does not include a visual representation of a first portion of a physical object present in a physical environment in which a user is located, a computer system detects movement of the user in the physical environment. In accordance with a determination that the user is within a threshold distance of the first portion of the physical object which has an extent that is potentially visible to the user based on a field of view of the user for the virtual environment, the computer system changes an appearance of the view of the virtual environment in a manner that indicates a physical characteristic of the first portion of the physical object, without indicating a second portion of the physical object that is potentially visible to the user based on the field of view of the user.

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.
