    Abstract: An electronic device is in communication with one or more wearable audio output devices. The electronic device detects occurrence of an event and outputs, via the one or more wearable audio output devices, one or more audio notifications corresponding to the event. After beginning to output the one or more audio notifications, the electronic device detects an input directed to the one or more wearable audio output devices. In response, if the input is detected within a predefined time period with respect to the one or more audio notifications corresponding to the event, the electronic device performs a first operation associated with the one or more audio notifications corresponding to the event; and, if the input is detected after the predefined time period has elapsed, the electronic device performs a second operation not associated with the one or more audio notifications corresponding to the first event.

    Abstract: One exemplary implementation provides an improved user experience on a device by using physiological data to initiate a user interaction for the user experience based on an identified interest or intention of a user. For example, a sensor may obtain physiological data (e.g., pupil diameter) of a user during a user experience in which content is displayed on a display. The physiological data varies over time during the user experience and a pattern is detected. The detected pattern is used to identify an interest of the user in the content or an intention of the user regarding the content. The user interaction is then initiated based on the identified interest or the identified intention.

    Abstract: In a head-mounted device, position and motion sensors may be included to determine the orientation of the head-mounted device. A motion sensor may experience error that accumulates over time, sometimes referred to as drift. To mitigate the effect of drift in a motion sensor, a reference orientation for the motion sensor may be reset when a qualifying motion is detected. The qualifying motion may be detected using one or more criteria such as a total change in angular orientation or rate of change in angular orientation. The reference orientation for the motion sensor may also be reset when a duration of time elapses without a qualifying motion being detected.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a method of tracking contexts is performed at a device including an image sensor, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes capturing, using the image sensor, an image of an environment at a particular time. The method includes detecting a context based at least in part on the image of the environment. The method includes, in accordance with a determination that the context is included within a predefined set of contexts, storing, in a database, an entry including data indicating detection of the context in association with data indicating the particular time. The method includes receiving a query regarding the context. The method includes providing a response to the query based on the data indicating the particular time.

    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for using a gaze vector and head pose information to effectuate a user interaction with a virtual object. In some implementations, a device includes a sensor for sensing a head pose of a user, a display, one or more processors, and a memory. In various implementations, a method includes displaying a set of virtual objects. Based on a gaze vector, it is determined that a gaze of the user is directed to a first virtual object of the set of virtual objects. A head pose value corresponding to the head pose of the user is obtained. An action relative to the first virtual object is performed based on the head pose value satisfying a head pose criterion.

    Abstract: An electronic device that is in communication with one or more wearable audio output devices detects occurrence of an event while the one or more wearable audio output devices are being worn by a user. In response to detecting the occurrence of the event, the electronic device outputs, via the one or more wearable audio output devices, one or more audio notifications corresponding to the event, including: in accordance with a determination that the user of the electronic device is currently engaged in a conversation, delaying outputting the one or more audio notifications corresponding to the event until the conversation has ended; and, in accordance with a determination that the user of the electronic device is not currently engaged in a conversation, outputting the one or more audio notifications corresponding to the event without delaying the outputting.
