    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.

    Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for displaying and interacting with a representation of a user interface of an electronic device in a three-dimensional environment. While presenting a first user interface, a first electronic device presents a representation of a second user interface of a second electronic device based on display data representing the second user interface. In response to detecting a respective event corresponding to user input, if a gaze of a user of the first electronic device is directed to the representation of the second user interface, the first electronic device causes the second electronic device to perform a first operation directed to the second user interface based on the respective event. Alternatively, if the gaze is directed to the first user interface, the first electronic device performs a second operation directed to the first user interface based on the respective event.
