Abstract
A computer system displays, in a three-dimensional environment, a computer-generated object; detects that a user's attention is directed to the object; and in response, displays a virtual shadow for the object with a first appearance, including displaying the shadow with a first value for a first visual property, while maintaining a pose of the object relative to the three-dimensional environment. While continuing to display the object in the three-dimensional environment, the computer system detects that the user's attention has ceased to be directed to the object; and in response, displays the shadow for the object with a second appearance that is different from the first appearance, while maintaining the pose of the object relative to the three-dimensional environment. Displaying the shadow for the object with the second appearance includes displaying the shadow with a second value for the first visual property. The second value is different from the first value.
