摘要： 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.

摘要： According to various implementations, a method is performed at a first electronic device with a non-transitory memory and one or more processors. The method includes determining a reference location in a three-dimensional space based on a feature. The feature is generated by a second electronic device. The method includes obtaining, for the reference location, first reference coordinates in an augmented reality coordinate system of the first electronic device and second reference coordinates in an augmented reality coordinate system of the second electronic device. The method includes determining a coordinate transformation based on a function of the first reference coordinates and the second reference coordinates. The method includes synchronizing an augmented reality coordinate system of the first electronic device with an augmented reality coordinate system of the second electronic device using the coordinate transformation.

摘要： Implementations of the subject technology provide virtual anchoring for extended reality (XR) display devices. A device may generate an XR environment that includes computer-generated (CG) content for display relative to various physical objects in a physical environment. In order to position the CG content, an XR application may request a physical anchor object to which the CG content can be anchored. In circumstances in which the physical anchor object is not available in the physical environment, a virtual anchor and/or a virtual anchor object corresponding to the physical anchor object can be provided to which the CG content can be anchored.

摘要： A computer system displays a first object that includes at least a first portion of the first object and a second portion of the first object and detects a first gaze input that meets first criteria, wherein the first criteria require that the first gaze input is directed to the first portion of the first object in order for the first criteria to be met. In response, the computer system displays a first control element that corresponds to a first operation associated with the first object, wherein the first control element was not displayed prior to detecting that the first gaze input met the first criteria, and detects a first user input directed to the first control element. In response to detecting the first user input directed to the first control element, the computer system performs the first operation with respect to the first object.

摘要： Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for indicating a distance to a selectable portion of a virtual surface. In various implementations, a device includes a display, a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the display and the non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes displaying a graphical environment that includes a virtual surface, wherein at least a portion of the virtual surface is selectable. In some implementations, the method includes determining a distance between a collider object and the selectable portion of the virtual surface. In some implementations, the method includes displaying a depth indicator in association with the collider object. In some implementations, a visual property of the depth indicator is selected based on the distance between the collider object and the selectable portion of the virtual surface.

摘要： In one implementation, a method, performed at a first electronic device with one or more processors, a display, and one or more input devices, includes obtaining, for a reference location in a three-dimensional space, first reference coordinates in an augmented reality coordinate system of the first electronic device. The method includes obtaining, for the reference location in the three-dimensional space, second reference coordinates based on transformation data received from a second electronic device. The method includes determining a coordinate transformation based on the first reference coordinates and the second reference coordinates. The method includes synchronizing the augmented reality coordinate system of the first electronic device with an augmented reality coordinate system of the second electronic device using the coordinate transformation.
