    摘要: A method and apparatus for controlling objects being displayed in a user interface (UI) in a virtual environment generated by an XR device using a wearable device are described. In some embodiments, the method comprises: receiving selection of an object in the UI being displayed in a virtual environment created by an extend reality (XR) device; displaying, in the UI, a menu having one or more graphical user interface (GUI) elements selectable using a wearable device; receiving and translating first touch input data indicative of a user selection of one of the one or more GUI elements, the first touch input data being received in response to a user touching the wearable device; receiving additional touch input data from the wearable device and translating the additional touch data into one or more actions associated with the selected GUI element that is to be performed with respect to the object; and performing the one or more actions on the object in the UI being displayed in the virtual environment, including updating the UI based on results of performing the one or more actions.

    摘要: An electronic watch includes a housing and a crown assembly including a rotatable actuation member. The rotatable actuation member includes a knob external to the housing and configured to receive a rotational input and a shaft assembly coupled to the knob and positioned at least partially within the housing, the shaft assembly defining a sensing surface configured to rotate in response to the rotational input. The electronic watch further includes an optical sensing system configured to detect the rotational input, the detecting including directing light onto the sensing surface, receiving reflected light from the sensing surface, and producing a signal corresponding to a rotational motion of the sensing surface, the signal based at least in part on an interference between the light directed onto the sensing surface and the reflected light.
