Abstract: A computer system displays a view of at least a portion of a simulated three-dimensional space, and a view of a user interface object located within the simulated three-dimensional space. The user interface object is a representation of a computing device that has a non-immersive display environment that provides access to a plurality of different applications. The user interface object includes a first user interface that corresponds to the non-immersive display environment of the computing device and is responsive to touch inputs from a user on the input device, and a pose of the user interface object in the simulated three-dimensional space corresponds to a pose of the input device in a physical space surrounding the input device. In response to a touch input that corresponds to a respective location in the first user interface, an appearance of the first user interface is updated.

Abstract: While displaying a view of a virtual environment that does not include a visual representation of a first portion of a physical object present in a physical environment in which a user is located, a computer system detects movement of the user in the physical environment. In accordance with a determination that the user is within a threshold distance of the first portion of the physical object which has an extent that is potentially visible to the user based on a field of view of the user for the virtual environment, the computer system changes an appearance of the view of the virtual environment in a manner that indicates a physical characteristic of the first portion of the physical object, without indicating a second portion of the physical object that is potentially visible to the user based on the field of view of the user.

Abstract: While displaying a three-dimensional scene including physical elements and virtual elements, a computer system detects a sequence of user inputs for increasing a level of immersion of the three-dimensional scene. In response, the computer system increases the quantity of virtual elements displayed in the scene, including displaying an animated transition to replace a portion of a first region occupied by a first set of physical elements with virtual elements in response to a first input, and displaying another animated transition that replaces a portion of a second region occupied by a subset of the remaining physical elements with virtual elements in response to a second input following the first input, wherein virtual elements occupy increasing portions of the scene after each of the first input and the second input.

Abstract: While displaying a three-dimensional scene including at least a first virtual object displayed with a first value corresponding to a first portion and a second value corresponding to a second portion of the first virtual object at a first location and a first physical surface at a second location, a computer system generates a first visual effect at the second location of the three-dimensional scene, including modifying a visual appearance of a first portion of the first physical surface in the three-dimensional scene in accordance with the first value for the first display property that corresponds to the first portion of the first virtual object; and modifying a visual appearance of a second portion of the first physical surface in the three-dimensional scene in accordance with the second value for the first display property that corresponds to the second portion of the first virtual object.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device selectively de-emphasizes a three-dimensional environment in which content is presented. In some embodiments, an electronic device modifies the boundaries of content in a user interface. In some embodiments, an electronic device shares content with users in a three-dimensional environment.

Abstract: A computer system displays, in a simulated three-dimensional space, an object with a user interface displayed at a pose corresponding to a pose of the object in the simulated space, the object's pose corresponding to a pose of an input device in a physical environment. In response to detecting a movement input via the input device: if the movement input corresponds to input device movement, relative to the physical environment, meeting pose criteria requiring that a parameter of change in the input device pose meet a set of one or more thresholds, the computer system displays the user interface away from the object; and, if the movement input corresponds to input device movement not meeting the pose criteria, the computer system updates the object's pose in the simulated space based on the input device movement, while maintaining display of the user interface at a pose corresponding to the object's pose.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device emphasizes and/or deemphasizes user interfaces based on the gaze of a user. In some embodiments, an electronic device defines levels of immersion for different user interfaces independently of one another. In some embodiments, an electronic device resumes display of a user interface at a previously-displayed level of immersion after (e.g., temporarily) reducing the level of immersion associated with the user interface. In some embodiments, an electronic device allows objects, people, and/or portions of an environment to be visible through a user interface displayed by the electronic device. In some embodiments, an electronic device reduces the level of immersion associated with a user interface based on characteristics of the electronic device and/or physical environment of the electronic device.

Abstract: A system displays, via the first display generation component: a first view of a computer-generated three-dimensional environment, including a representation of a physical environment, and a representation of one or more projections of light. The representation of the one or more projections of light has an appearance that corresponds to a spatial relationship between first virtual content present in the computer-generated three-dimensional environment and the representation of the physical environment. The system displays animated changes of the representation of the one or more projections of light and displays alterations of an appearance of a representation of a first surface in the physical environment in accordance with the animated changes of the representation of the one or more projections of light.
