Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device updates the spatial arrangement of one or more virtual objects in a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, an electronic device updates the positions of multiple virtual objects together. In some embodiments, an electronic device displays objects in a three-dimensional environment based on an estimated location of a floor in the three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, an electronic device moves (e.g., repositions) objects in a three-dimensional environment.

Abstract: Methods for displaying selectable options in a computer-generated environment provide for an efficient and intuitive user experience. In some embodiments, one or more selectable options are displayed in a three-dimensional computer-generated environment in accordance with the determination that the one or more criteria have been satisfied, including a criteria that a hand of the user is oriented in a predetermined manner with respect to an electronic device. In some embodiments, a user is able to perform one-handed actuation of a selectable option with a plurality of user inputs and/or gestures that satisfy one or more activation criteria.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the disclosure are directed to an augmented representation of a first electronic device. A three-dimensional representation of a first electronic device (e.g., an augmented device) is presented using a second electronic device in a three-dimensional environment. The three-dimensional environment includes captured portions of a real-world environment, optionally including the first electronic device. The augmented representation of the first electronic device includes a virtual user interface element representing an extension of the physical display of the first electronic device. The representation of the augmented device includes a display of the augmented user interface. The augmented device is optionally configured to display some or all of the user interfaces operating on the first electronic device. Manipulations of and/or interactions with the augmented representation of the first electronic device are possible.

Abstract: Displaying and manipulating user interface elements in a computer-generated environment is disclosed. In some embodiments, a user is able to use a pinch and hold gesture to seamlessly and efficiently display and isolate a slider and then manipulate that slider without having to modify the pinch and hold gesture. In some embodiments, gaze data can be used to coarsely identify a focus element, and hand movement can then be used for fine identification of the focus element.

Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to methods for application-based spatial refinement in a multi-user communication session including a first electronic device and a second electronic device. While the first electronic device is presenting a three-dimensional environment, the first electronic device receives an input corresponding to a request to move a shared object in the three-dimensional environment. In accordance with a determination that the shared object is an object of a first type, the first electronic device moves the shared object and an avatar of a user in the three-dimensional environment in accordance with the input. In accordance with a determination that the shared object is an object of a second type, different from the first type, and the input is a first type of input, the first electronic device moves the shared object in the three-dimensional environment in accordance with the input, without moving the avatar.

Abstract: A representation displayed in a three-dimensional environment may be selected with different types of selection inputs. When a representation displayed in the three-dimensional environment is selected, an application corresponding to the representation may be launched in the three-dimensional environment in accordance with the type of selection received. In such embodiments, when the representation is selected with a first type of selection, the application corresponding to the selected representation may be launched in a first manner, and when the representation is selected with a second type of selection, the application corresponding to the selected representation may be launched in a second manner. In some embodiments, the manner in which the application is launched may determine whether one or more previously launched applications continue to be displayed or cease to be displayed in the three-dimensional environment.

Abstract: Methods for displaying user interfaces in a computer-generated environment provide for an efficient and intuitive user experience. In some embodiments, user interfaces can have different immersion levels. In some embodiments, a user interface can have a respective immersion level based on its location in the three-dimensional environment or distance from the user. In some embodiments, a user interface can have a respective immersion level based on the state of the user interface. In some embodiments, a user interface can switch from one immersion level to another in response to the user's interaction with the user interface.
