Abstract
In some embodiments, a computer system modifies the visual appearances of user interface objects based on their spatial arrangement relative to the viewpoint of the user in a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, a computer system displays, via a display generation component, a representation of a message in a three-environment at a first distance from a viewpoint of the user, and then changes the distance of the representation of the message to be a second distance from the viewpoint of the user. In some embodiments, a computer system is configured to transition virtual objects from a three-dimensional appearance to a two-dimensional appearance and/or from a two-dimensional appearance to a three-dimensional appearance.
