Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to devices, systems, and methods for presenting a magnified view in an extended reality environment. Specifically, a magnified view includes a zoom reticle that is presented at a display location of a display. The zoom reticle includes magnified content that includes a magnified portion of a user's field of view. For example, the magnified content may be generated from image data selected from a corresponding portion of a field of view of a camera. The position of the zoom reticle on the display, as well as the portion of the field of view that is magnified, may vary in different circumstances such as described herein.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may be used to perform a visual search on a physical environment around the head-mounted device. A user may wish to visually search one out of multiple physical objects in the physical environment. To clearly show the user which physical object was the target of a visual search, the head-mounted device may present a thumbnail of the candidate physical object on a display. The thumbnail may be cropped and/or zoomed using an image from a camera on the head-mounted device. By displaying a thumbnail that is taken by a camera on the head-mounted device, the thumbnail will directly match the physical object in the user's physical environment, eliminating ambiguity regarding which physical object is the subject of the visual search.

Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for minimizing display of an object from a maximized state to a minimized state in a three-dimensional environment. In some examples, an electronic device presents a computer-generated environment that includes a virtual object displayed in a maximized state in the three-dimensional environment. While displaying the three-dimensional environment, the electronic device detects that a first event has occurred. In response to detecting that the first event has occurred, in accordance with a determination that the first event satisfies one or more criteria, the electronic device displays the virtual object in a minimized state in the three-dimensional environment from a viewpoint of a user of the electronic device. In accordance with a determination that the first event does not satisfy the one or more criteria, the electronic device maintains display of the virtual object in the maximized state from the viewpoint.

Abstract: A method includes presenting a representation of a three-dimensional (3D) environment from a current point-of-view. The method includes identifying a region of interest within the 3D environment. The region of interest is located at a first distance from the current point-of-view. The method includes receiving, via the audio sensor, an audible signal and converting the audible signal to audible signal data. The method includes displaying, on the display, a visual representation of the audible signal data at a second distance from the current point-of-view that is a function of the first distance between the region of interest and the current point-of-view.
