Abstract
In one implementation, a method includes: displaying a UI element as an overlay in a UI associated with a first FOV, wherein the first FOV is characterized by a first viewing vector of a physical environment; detecting a change from the first FOV to a second FOV, wherein the second FOV is characterized by a second viewing vector of the physical environment; and in response to detecting the change from the first FOV to the second FOV, determining a prominence-display value for the UI element; if the prominence-display value for the UI element exceeds a prominence threshold, displaying the UI element as the overlay in the UI associated with the second FOV; and if the prominence-display value for the UI element does not exceed the prominence threshold, ceasing display of the UI element in the UI associated with the second FOV.
