Abstract: In accordance with various implementations, a method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a display. The method includes determining an engagement score associated with an object that is visible at the display. The engagement score characterizes a level of user engagement with respect to the object. The method includes, in response to determining that the engagement score satisfies an engagement criterion, determining an ambience vector associated with the object and presenting content based on the ambience vector. The ambience vector represents a target ambient environment.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method of displaying content is performed at a device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes displaying, in a first area, a first content pane including first content including a link to second content. The method includes, while displaying the first content pane in the first area, receiving a user input selecting the link to the second content and indicating a second area separate from the first area and not displaying a content pane. The method includes, in response to receiving the user input selecting the link to the second content and indicating the second area, displaying, in the second area, a second content pane including the second content.

Abstract: A computer system displays a first object that includes at least a first portion of the first object and a second portion of the first object and detects a first gaze input that meets first criteria, wherein the first criteria require that the first gaze input is directed to the first portion of the first object in order for the first criteria to be met. In response, the computer system displays a first control element that corresponds to a first operation associated with the first object, wherein the first control element was not displayed prior to detecting that the first gaze input met the first criteria, and detects a first user input directed to the first control element. In response to detecting the first user input directed to the first control element, the computer system performs the first operation with respect to the first object.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that create a 3D video that includes determining first adjustments (e.g., first transforms) to video frames (e.g., one or more RGB images and depth images per frame) to align content in a coordinate system to remove the effects of capturing camera motion. Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that playback a 3D video and includes determining second adjustments (e.g., second transforms) to remove the effects of movement of a viewing electronic device relative to a viewing environment during playback of the 3D video. Some implementations distinguish static content and moving content of the video frames to playback only moving objects or facilitate concurrent playback of multiple spatially related 3D videos. The 3D video may include images, audio, or 3D video of a video-capture-device user.

Abstract: A computer system detects an input to invoke a home menu user interface. In response to detecting the input, the computer system displays, via one or more display generation components, the home menu user interface in a three-dimensional environment, including: if a viewpoint of a user in the three-dimensional environment had a first elevation relative to a reference plane in the three-dimensional environment, displaying the home menu user interface at a first height in the three-dimensional environment; and, if the viewpoint of the user in the three-dimensional environment had a second elevation relative to the reference plane in the three-dimensional environment, the second elevation being different from the first elevation, displaying the home menu user interface at a second height in the three-dimensional environment, the second height being different from the first height.

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.

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: In one implementation, a method of activating a user interface element is performed at a device including an input device, an eye tracker, a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes displaying, on the display, a plurality of user interface elements and receiving, via the input device, a user input corresponding to an input location. The method includes determining, using the eye tracker, a gaze location. The method includes, in response to determining that the input location is at least a threshold distance from the gaze location, activating a first user interface element at the gaze location and, in response to determining that it is not, activating a second user interface element at the input location.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method for dynamically determining presentation and transitional regions for content delivery. The method includes obtaining a first set of characteristics associated with a physical environment; and detecting a request to cause presentation of virtual content. In response to detecting the request, the method also includes obtaining a second set of characteristics associated with the virtual content; generating a presentation region for the virtual content based at least in part on the first and second sets of characteristics; and generating a transitional region provided to at least partially surround the presentation region based at least in part on the first and second sets of characteristics. The method further includes concurrently presenting the virtual content within the presentation region and the transitional region at least partially surrounding the presentation region.
