  • Systems, methods, and graphical user interfaces for displaying and manipulating virtual objects in augmented reality environments
    Patent number: 11727650
    Abstract: A computer system displays a representation of a camera field of view and receives one or more inputs corresponding to a request to display the representation of the field of view based on a physical object at a first pose, a virtual object at a simulated second pose, and the one or more cameras at a third pose in a physical environment. In response, if a first portion of the virtual object corresponds to physical space that is occluded by the physical object, the system: displays the representation of the physical object; forgoes displaying the first portion of the virtual object; and, if a second portion of the virtual object corresponds to physical space that is not occluded, displays the second portion, including visually deemphasizing a displayed first region of the second portion relative to a displayed second region of the second portion of the virtual object.
    Type: Grant

  • Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for displaying objects in 3D context
    Patent number: 11017608
    Abstract: An electronic device, while displaying a first user interface region and a first media item, detects a first input corresponding to a sharing user interface. In response, the device displays the sharing user interface, which includes a second user interface object for initiating a process for displaying a second representation of a first media item in an augmented reality environment. In response to detecting a sequence of one or more inputs including selection of the second user interface object, the device displays the second representation of the first media item in a second user interface that includes content of at least a portion of a field of view of the device's one or more cameras.
