Abstract

In one implementation, a method for displaying a first pairing affordance that is world-locked to a first peripheral device. The method may be performed by an electronic device including a non-transitory memory, one or more processors, a display, and one or more input devices. The method includes detecting the first peripheral device within a three-dimensional (3D) environment via a computer vision technique. The method includes receiving, via the one or more input devices, a first user input that is directed to the first peripheral device within the 3D environment. The method includes, in response to receiving the first user input, displaying, on the display, the first pairing affordance that is world-locked to the first peripheral device within the 3D environment.
