Patent number: 11782571Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include a method performed by a device. While executing a CGR application, the method includes displaying a three-dimensional object in a three-dimensional space, wherein the three-dimensional space is defined by a three-dimensional coordinate system. The method also includes: detecting a first user input directed to the three-dimensional object; and in response to detecting the first user input, displaying a spatial manipulation user interface element including a set of spatial manipulation affordances respectively associated with a set of spatial manipulations of the three-dimensional object, wherein each of the set of spatial manipulations corresponds to a translational movement of the three-dimensional object along a corresponding axis of the three-dimensional space.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2022Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Gerald Louis Guyomard, Etienne H.

Publication number: 20230029775Abstract: In one implementation, a method of changing an audio property of an object is performed at a device including one or more processors coupled to non-transitory memory. The method includes displaying, using a display, a representation of a scene including a representation of an object associated with an audio property. The method includes displaying, using the display, in association with the representation of the object, a manipulator indicating a value of the audio property. The method includes receiving, using one or more input devices, a user input interacting with the manipulator. The method includes, in response to receiving the user input, changing the value of the audio property based on the user input and displaying, using the display, the manipulator indicating the changed value of the audio property.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Karen Natalie Wong, Adam James Bolton

Patent number: 11182044Abstract: A method includes displaying a spatial manipulation user interface element including a first set of spatial manipulation affordances respectively associated with a first set of spatial manipulations of a three-dimensional object. The first set of spatial manipulations is based on a first virtual camera perspective. The method includes, in response to detecting a user input changing the first virtual camera perspective to a second virtual camera perspective, changing display of the three-dimensional object from the first virtual camera perspective to the second virtual camera perspective, and displaying a second set of spatial manipulation affordances respectively associated with a second set of spatial manipulations.
