Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide XR in which virtual objects are positioned based on the accuracy of localizing an electronic device in a physical environment. In some implementations, the technique assesses the accuracy of localization (e.g., centimeter-level accuracy, room-level accuracy, and building-level accuracy) and dynamically adjusts a display strategy. In some implementations, the technique determines a condition causing inaccuracy (e.g., a semantic condition such as “too fast”, “too far”, “too dark”), and provides a notification (e.g., “too fast-slow down”, “too far-move closer”, “too dark-turn on a light”) at the electronic device based on the condition causing the inaccuracy in the localization.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method is performed for tiered posture awareness. The method includes: while presenting a three-dimensional (3D) environment, via the display device, obtaining head pose information for a user associated with the computing system; determining an accumulated strain value for the user based on the head pose information; and in accordance with a determination that the accumulated strain value for the user exceeds a first posture awareness threshold: determining a location for virtual content based on a height value associated with the user and a depth value associated with the 3D environment; and presenting, via the display device, the virtual content at the determined location while continuing to present the 3D environment via the display device.

Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, an eye tracker, and a display. The eye tracker receives eye tracking data associated with one or more eyes of a user of the electronic device. The method includes displaying, on the display, a first user interface (UI) element that is associated with a first selection region and a second selection region. While displaying the first UI element, the method includes determining, based on the eye tracking data, that a first targeting criterion is satisfied with respect to the first selection region, and determining, based on the eye tracking data, that a second targeting criterion is satisfied with respect to the second selection region. The method includes selecting the first UI element based at least in part on determining that the first targeting criterion is satisfied and the second targeting criterion is satisfied.

Abstract: A method includes: presenting a posture summary interface including: a representation of the user, a visualization of a current accumulated strain value for the user, and a first affordance for initiating an animated posture summary associated with the accumulated strain value for the user over a respective time window; and in response to detecting a user input directed to the first affordance within the posture summary interface, presenting an animation of the representation of the user over the respective time window that corresponds to one or more instances in which head pose information changes associated with the user caused an increase or a decrease to the accumulated strain value greater than a significance threshold, wherein an appearance of the visualization of the current accumulated strain value for the user changes to represent the accumulated strain value for the user over the respective time window.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may be used to perform a visual search on a physical environment around the head-mounted device. A user may wish to visually search one out of multiple physical objects in the physical environment. To clearly show the user which physical object was the target of a visual search, the head-mounted device may present a thumbnail of the candidate physical object on a display. The thumbnail may be cropped and/or zoomed using an image from a camera on the head-mounted device. By displaying a thumbnail that is taken by a camera on the head-mounted device, the thumbnail will directly match the physical object in the user's physical environment, eliminating ambiguity regarding which physical object is the subject of the visual search.
