Abstract

In some aspects, an electronic device displays virtual objects in a three-dimensional extended reality ('XR') environment with automatically determined location(s) and/or orientation(s). In some aspects, the electronic device receives an input corresponding to a request to display the virtual objects in the XR environment. In some aspects, in response to the input, the electronic device displays the virtual objects in the XR environment. In some aspects, the electronic device compares characteristics of a physical environment of the electronic device with characteristics of the at least the subset of the collection of the virtual objects, including determining first locations of walls of the physical environment relative to at least one of a second location of the user interface of the first application or a third location of a user of the electronic device, to determine the location(s) and orientation(s) at which to display the virtual object(s).
