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: 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 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.
