Abstract: In one implementation, a method of resolving focal conflict in a computer-generated reality (CGR) environment is performed by a device including a processor, non-transitory memory, an image sensor, and a display. The method includes capturing, using the image sensor, an image of a scene including a real object in a particular direction at a first distance from the device. The method includes displaying, on the display, a CGR environment including a virtual object in the particular direction at a second distance from the device. In accordance with a determination that the second distance is less than the first distance, the CGR environment includes the virtual object overlaid on the scene. In accordance with a determination that the second distance is greater than the first distance, the CGR environment includes the virtual object with an obfuscation area that obfuscates at least a portion of the real object within the obfuscation area.

Abstract: A method includes displaying diorama-view representations from corresponding viewing vectors. The diorama-view representations respectively correspond to enhanced reality (ER) environments. Each of the diorama-view representations is associated with a respective set of ER world coordinates that characterizes a respective ER environment. The diorama-view representations include a first diorama-view representation displayed from a first viewing vector. The first diorama-view representation includes a first one or more of ER objects arranged according to a first set of ER world coordinates. The method includes detecting an input associated with the first diorama-view representation, and in response thereto, changing display of the first diorama-view representation from the first viewing vector to a second viewing vector while maintaining the first one or more ER objects arranged according to the first set of ER world coordinates.

Abstract: A method includes displaying a home ER environment characterized by home ER world coordinates, including one or more diorama-view representation of one or more respective ER environments. Each diorama-view representation includes ER objects arranged in a spatial relationship according to corresponding ER world coordinates. In some implementations, in response to detecting an input directed to a first diorama-view representation, the method includes transforming the home ER environment. Transforming the home ER environment includes transforming the spatial relationship between a subset of the ER objects as a function of the home ER world coordinates and corresponding ER world coordinates. In some implementations, in response to detecting an input associated with a first one of a plurality of diorama-view representations, the method includes changing display of the first one of the plurality of diorama-view representations from a first viewing vector to a second viewing vector while maintaining an arrangement of ER objects.

Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device including one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a display. The method includes obtaining a first volumetric object associated with a first content region. The first content region is associated with a first tab. The method includes generating a first volumetric representation of the first volumetric object based on a function of the first tab. The first volumetric representation is displayable within the first tab. The method includes concurrently displaying, on the display, the first content region and the first volumetric representation within the first tab. In some implementations, the method includes changing a view of the first volumetric representation, such as rotating the first volumetric representation or according to a positional change to the electronic device. In some implementations, the method includes generating a plurality of volumetric representations and classifying the plurality of volumetric representations.

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 that characterizes a level of engagement between a user and a first object. The first object is located at a first location on the display. The method includes determining an interruption priority value that characterizes a relative importance of signaling a presence of a second object to the user. The second object is detectable by the electronic device. In some implementations, the method includes presenting the second object according to one or more output modalities of the electronic device. The method includes, in response to determining that the engagement score and the interruption priority value collectively together satisfy an interruption condition, presenting a notification.
