    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to remote touch detection. In some examples, a first electronic device obtains first image data and second image data about an input, and performs an operation based on the input in accordance with a determination that a set of one or more criteria is met based on the first image data and the second image data. In some examples, a first electronic device causes emission of infrared light by an infrared source of a second electronic device, obtains image data about an input, and performs an operation based on the input in accordance with a determination that a set of one or more criteria is met based on the image data.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of intermingling stereoscopic and conforming virtual content to a bounded surface is performed at a device that includes one or more processors, non-transitory memory, and one or more displays. The method includes displaying a bounded surface within a native user computer-generated reality (CGR) environment, wherein the bounded surface is displayed based on a first set of world coordinates characterizing the native user CGR environment. The method further includes displaying a first stereoscopic virtual object within a perimeter of a first side of the bounded surface, wherein the first stereoscopic virtual object is displayed in accordance with a second set of world coordinates that is different from the first set of world coordinates characterizing the native user CGR environment.

    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide a CGR environment in which virtual objects from one or more apps are included. User interactions with the virtual objects are detected and interpreted by a system that is separate from the apps that provide the virtual objects. The system detects user interactions received via one or more input modalities and interprets those user interactions as events. These events provide a higher-level, input modality-independent, abstractions of the lower-level input-modality dependent user interactions that are detected. The system uses UI capability data provided by the apps to interpret user interactions with respect to the virtual object provided by the apps. For example, the UI capability data can identify whether a virtual object is moveable, actionable, hover-able, etc. and the system interprets user interactions at or near the virtual object accordingly.

    Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide a small, portable physical object for use in an extended reality system. The system may include a device that allows a user/wearer to interact with virtual representations of content such as stored data and/or applications overlaid on the user's physical environment. The object has a unique identifier that is obtainable by the device or another device. The object may be an inactive device without any internal circuitry, a passive device with circuitry that is activated by another device, or an active device having its own processing circuitry and/or a display housed in the body of the object. The object can be associated with content displayed by the device to provide a user with a physical object that can be moved or manipulated to move, modify, transport, or store the content generated, stored, and/or displayed in an extended reality environment.
