  • Patent number: 12613609
    Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for moving virtual objects in three-dimensional environments in accordance with detected movement of the electronic device. In some examples, the electronic device detects movement according to a first or second movement pattern described in more detail herein. In some examples, in response to detecting the first movement pattern, the electronic device applies a first correction factor to movement of a virtual object in the environment. In some examples, in response to detecting the first movement pattern, the electronic device applies a first correction factor to movement of a virtual object in the environment.

  • Publication number: 20260041962
    Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device detects initiation of an exercise activity associated with a user of the electronic device. In some examples, in response to detecting the initiation of the exercise activity, the electronic device activates an image compilation capture mode of operation in which one or more images for formulating a compilation of the one or more images corresponding to the exercise activity are captured, including capturing one or more portions of a physical environment. In some examples, while the image compilation capture mode of operation is active, the electronic device visually detects a first object in the one or more captured portions of the physical environment. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first object satisfies one or more criteria, the electronic device generates a first event associated with formulating a first compilation of one or more images corresponding to the exercise activity.

  • Publication number: 20250111862
    Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device presents, via a display, a representation of a prediction of a food being consumed by a user of the electronic device in a computer-generated environment. In some examples, the electronic device presents, via the display, an indication of possible non-compliance of medication in the computer-generated environment. In some examples, the electronic device initiates a smoking detection mode in response to the acquisition and processing of data from the user of the electronic device or from the physical environment of the user of the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20250103695
    Abstract: This relates generally to systems and methods for tracking and recording pupil dilation and/or signs of unconsciousness in response to detecting specific movements of the electronic device. In some examples, the electronic device captures and tracks first biometric data including pupil dilation using one or more input devices. In some examples, in response to detecting a movement of the electronic device, such as a rapid acceleration or deceleration of the electronic device, the electronic device captures second biometric data. In some examples, the electronic device displays a virtual object while presenting an extended reality environment, such as a visual indication in response to detecting that the second biometric data meets one or more criteria based on a comparison of the second biometric data with the first biometric data. In some examples, the electronic device initiates an emergency response based on the second biometric data.

  • Publication number: 20250090934
    Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for displaying one or more user interfaces based on a context of an electronic device within a physical environment. In some examples, the electronic device detects initiation of an exercise activity associated with a user of the electronic device, optionally while a computer-generated environment is presented at the electronic device. In some examples, in response to detecting the initiation of the exercise activity, the electronic device activates an exercise tracking mode of operation. In some examples, while the exercise tracking mode of operation is active, the electronic device captures one or more images of a physical environment. In some examples, in accordance with detecting, in the one or more images, a feature of the physical environment, the electronic device performs a first operation associated with the exercise tracking mode of operation.
