  • Publication number: 20240152244
    Abstract: While displaying an application user interface, a device detects a first input to an input device of the one or more input devices, the input device provided on a housing of the device that includes the one or more display generation components. In response to detecting the first input, the device replaces display of at least a portion of the application user interface by displaying a home menu user interface via the one or more display generation components. While displaying the home menu user interface, the device detects a second input to the input device provided on the housing of the device; and in response to detecting the second input to the input device provided on the housing of the device: the device dismisses the home menu user interface.

  • Publication number: 20240152245
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240103682
    Abstract: A computer system displays a first application user interface at a first location in a three-dimensional environment. While displaying the first application user interface at the first location in the three-dimensional environment, the computer system detects, at a first time, a first input corresponding to a request to close the first application user interface. In response to detecting the first input corresponding to a request to close the first application user interface: the computer system closes the first application user interface, including ceasing to display the first application user interface in the three-dimensional environment; and, in accordance with a determination that respective criteria are met, the computer system displays a home menu user interface at a respective home menu position that is determined based on the first location of the first application user interface in the three-dimensional environment.

  • Publication number: 20240103681
    Abstract: A computer system displays a first user interface object and a first control element with a first appearance that is associated with performing a first operation with respect to the first user interface object, in a first view of a three-dimensional environment. The computer system detects a first gaze input that is directed to the first control element, and in response, updates an appearance of the first control element from to a second appearance that is different from the first appearance. While displaying the first control element with the second appearance, the computer system detects a first user input directed to the first control element, and in accordance with a determination that the first user input meets first criteria, updates the appearance of the first control element from the second appearance to a third appearance that is different from the first appearance and the second appearance.

  • Publication number: 20240103686
    Abstract: A computer system displays an immersion control, a volume control, an element configured to permit or restrict breakthrough in different modes of operation of the computer system, and/or an option selectable to cause initiation of display of a representation of content from a second computer system via a display generation component of the computer system. While a second computer system is displaying content, a first computer system detects an input corresponding to a request to display a representation of the content from the second computer system via a display generation component of the first computer system, and in response, initiates a process to display the representation of content and to de-emphasize the content displayed by the second computer system. A first computer system facilitates disambiguation of a second computer system from a plurality of computer systems for display of a representation of content from the second computer system.

  • Publication number: 20240103680
    Abstract: A computer system displays a user interface that includes a first region and a second region separated by a third region and displays a focus indicator within the first region. In response to detecting an input to move the focus indicator relative to the user interface, the input being associated with movement toward the second region, if the input meets respective criteria based on the movement associated with the input, the computer system moves the focus indicator from the first region to the second region in accordance with the movement associated with the input without displaying the focus indicator in the third region; and, if the input does not meet the respective criteria, the computer system changes an appearance of the focus indicator in accordance with the movement associated with the input while continuing to display at least a portion of the focus indicator within the first region.

  • Publication number: 20240103712
    Abstract: A computer system detects a gaze input directed to a region in an environment and, while detecting the gaze input, detects a touch input. In response, the computer system displays a focus indicator at a location corresponding to the region. The computer system detects a continuation of the touch input that includes movement of the touch input along an input surface while being maintained on the input surface. In response, the computer system moves the focus indicator in accordance with the movement of the touch input: within a user interface of an application, if the movement corresponds to a request to move the focus indicator within the user interface; and within the user interface without moving the focus indicator outside of the boundary of the user interface, if the movement corresponds to a request to move the focus indicator outside of a boundary of the user interface.

  • Patent number: 11934569
    Abstract: A computer system displays a first and second user interface object in a three-dimensional environment. The first and second user interface objects have a first and second spatial relationship to a first and second anchor position corresponding to a location of a user's hand in a physical environment, respectively. While displaying the first and second user interface objects in the three-dimensional environment, the computer system detects movement of the user's hand in the physical environment, corresponding to a translational movement and a rotational movement of the user's hand relative to a viewpoint, and in response, translates the first and second user interface objects relative to the viewpoint in accordance with the translational movement of the user's hand, and rotates the first user interface object relative to the viewpoint in accordance with the rotational movement of the user's hand without rotating the second user interface object.
