Abstract: Various implementations provide views of 3D environments (e.g., extended reality (XR) environments). Non-eye-based user activity, such as hand gestures, is associated with some types of eye-based activity, such as the user gazing at a particular user interface component displayed within a view of a 3D environment. For example, a user's pinching hand gesture may be associated with the user gazing at a particular user interface component, such as a button, at around the same time as the pinching hand gesture is made. These associated behaviors (e.g., the pinch and gaze at the button) may then be interpreted as user input, e.g., user input selecting or otherwise acting upon that user interface component. In some implementations, non-eye-based user activity is only associated with types of eye-based user activity that are likely to correspond to a user perceiving what they are seeing and/or intentionally looking at something.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting user input to an electronic device are disclosed. The electronic device can include an input sensor system that itself includes an input-sensitive structure that compresses or expands in response to user input. The input sensor system measures and electrical property of the input-sensitive structure for changes. The input sensor system is coupled to an accelerometer to receive acceleration data to modify the detected changes to the input-sensitive structure.

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: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that interpret user activity as user interactions with user interface (UI) elements positioned within a three-dimensional (3D) space such as an extended reality (XR) environment. Some implementations enable user interactions with virtual elements displayed in 3D environments that utilize alternative input modalities, e.g., XR environments that interpret user activity as either direct interactions or indirect interactions with virtual elements.

Abstract: Techniques for mapping a user input motion includes detecting an input motion by a user, determining an origin for an input motion in a user-centric spherical coordinate system, determining an arc length for the input motion based on the determined origin, mapping the arc length of the input motion to a 2D plane of a user input component, and presenting a movement of a user input component on the 2D plane in accordance with the mapping.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for providing haptic output and audio output on computing devices using the same haptic device and methods for calibrating the same. To produce the haptic and audio output, the computing device receives a profile of a desired output waveform that is to be provided by the haptic device. Using the desired output waveform, an input waveform is generated. Once the input waveform that will produce the desired output waveform is generated, the input waveform may be calibrated to account for various structural components of the haptic device and may also be combined with an audio waveform. The input waveform is then provided to the haptic device.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein facilitate interactions with a user interface in 3D environment in which a user interface element is moved based on a user movement in a way that the user interface element appears to lag behind or follow a portion of the user (e.g., the user's fingertip). The user interface element may be moved in a way that it converges with and thus catches up to the portion of the user. Such convergence may be based on the speed of the movement of the portion of the user. No convergence may occur when the portion of the user is not moving or is moving below a threshold speed. When the portion of the user is moving (e.g., above a threshold speed), the user interface component may converge with the portion of the user and the rate of convergence may be increased with faster speeds.
