  • Publication number: 20230119162
    Abstract: In some examples, while receiving captures of a first real world object, an electronic device displays a representation of a real world environment and a representation of the first real world object. In some examples, in response to receiving a first capture of a first portion of the first real world object and in accordance with a determination that the first capture satisfies one or more object capture criteria, the electronic device modifies a visual characteristic of the first portion of the representation of the first real world object. In some examples, an electronic device receives a request to capture the first real world object, and in response to the request, the electronic device determines a bounding volume around the representation of the first real world object and displays a plurality of capture targets on a surface of the bounding volume.

  • Publication number: 20230031832
    Abstract: A three-dimensional preview of content can be generated and presented at an electronic device in a three-dimensional environment. The three-dimensional preview of content can be presented concurrently with a two-dimensional representation of the content in a content generation environment presented in the three-dimensional environment. While the three-dimensional preview of content is presented in the three-dimensional environment, one or more affordances can be provided for interacting with the one or more computer-generated virtual objects of the three-dimensional preview. The one or more affordances may be displayed with the three-dimensional preview of content in the three-dimensional environment. The three-dimensional preview of content may be presented on a three-dimensional tray and the one or more affordances may be presented in a control bar or other grouping of controls outside the perimeter of the tray and/or along the perimeter of the tray.

  • Publication number: 20220413691
    Abstract: A computer-generated virtual object manipulator having one or more affordances for manipulating a computer-generated virtual object is disclosed. Selection of a virtual object can cause an object manipulator to be displayed over the virtual object. The object manipulator can include a cone-shaped single-axis translation affordance for each of one or more object axes, a disc-shaped single-axis scale affordance for each of the one or more object axes, an arc-shaped rotation affordance for rotation about each of the one or more object axes, and a center of object affordance for free space movement of the virtual object. The object manipulator can also include a slice-shaped two-axis translation affordance that can be displayed after hovering over an area in a particular plane.

  • Patent number: 9367943
    Abstract: Systems and processes for rendering fractures in an object are provided. In one example, a surface representation of an object may be converted into a volumetric representation of the object. The volumetric representation of the object may be divided into volumetric representations of two or more fragments. The volumetric representations of the two or more fragments may be converted into surface representations of the two or more fragments. Additional information associated with attributes of adjacent fragments may be used to convert the volumetric representations of the two or more fragments into surface representations of the two or more fragments. The surface representations of the two or more fragments may be displayed.
