Abstract

A system displays, via the first display generation component: a first view of a computer-generated three-dimensional environment, including a representation of a physical environment, and a representation of one or more projections of light. The representation of the one or more projections of light has an appearance that corresponds to a spatial relationship between first virtual content present in the computer-generated three-dimensional environment and the representation of the physical environment. The system displays animated changes of the representation of the one or more projections of light and displays alterations of an appearance of a representation of a first surface in the physical environment in accordance with the animated changes of the representation of the one or more projections of light.
