Abstract: An electronic device, which is in communication with a display and one or more input devices, displays a view of a three dimensional environment that includes a plurality of selectable user interface objects overlaid on an animated background. In response to detecting a request to change a viewpoint associated with a user of the electronic device, the electronic device shifts the plurality of selectable user interface objects in the three dimensional environment in accordance with the request, and also shifts the animated background in the three dimensional environment in accordance with the request.

Abstract: The present technology includes displaying a user interface in a simulated three-dimensional environment that includes selectable user interface objects located at different simulated distances from a respective viewpoint in the simulated three-dimensional environment. One or more of the selectable user interface objects are displayed with a simulated depth of field effect that includes applying a respective degree of blurring to the one or more selectable user interface objects. In response to detecting a navigation input, the one or more user interface objects are displayed at a different position relative to the respective viewpoint, and the respective degree of blurring applied to the one or more user interface objects is updated based on the simulated depth of field effect and a respective current position of the one or more user interface objects relative to the respective viewpoint.

Abstract: The present technology includes a digital content authoring tool for authoring digital content without the need to understand or access computer code. The present technology further includes creating digital content that is compatible with a diverse population of end user devices without the need for separate versions of the completed content. Instead, the digital authoring tool can manage versions of assets, which individually, can be compatible with different device criteria. Additionally, the present technology contemplates methods of delivering packages of the digital content that are configured to be compatible with the hardware configuration of each requesting device, despite the diverse capabilities of end user devices. Accordingly, the technology described herein provides a simple method for creating and delivering digital content that is configured for presentation on a user's specific device.
