Abstract
Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for transitioning an object between orientations in a three-dimensional environment. In some examples, an electronic device presents a three-dimensional environment including a virtual object that is displayed in a first orientation in the three-dimensional environment. While displaying the three-dimensional environment, the electronic device detects movement of a viewpoint of a user of the electronic device. In response to detecting the movement of the viewpoint, the electronic device moves the virtual object based on the movement of the viewpoint. In accordance with a determination that the movement of the viewpoint exceeds a threshold movement, the electronic device displays the virtual object in a second orientation in the three-dimensional environment. In accordance with a determination that the movement of the viewpoint does not exceed the threshold movement, the electronic device maintains display of the virtual object in the first orientation.
