  • Publication number: 20250231660
    Abstract: A computer system displays an annotation placement user interface that includes a representation of a field of view of one or more cameras that is updated over time based on changes in the field of view, a placement user interface element indicating a virtual annotation placement location, and a session history user interface element. The system receives a set of inputs corresponding to a plurality of requests to annotate the representation of the field of view and, in response, adds first and second annotations to the representation of the field of view. After adding the first and second annotations, the system receives an input corresponding to activation of the session history user interface element and, in response, displays a list of annotations that includes the first and second annotations, including concurrently displaying a representation of the first annotation and a representation of the second annotation.

  • Publication number: 20250102291
    Abstract: A method includes displaying, on the touch-sensitive display of an electronic device with one or more cameras, a first user interface of an application. The first user interface includes a representation of a field of view of at least one of the one or more cameras, which is updated over time based on changes to current visual data detected by at least one of the one or more cameras. The field of view includes a physical object in a three-dimensional space. A representation of a measurement of the physical object is superimposed on an image of the physical object in the representation of the field of view. While displaying the first user interface, a first touch input in the first user interface displayed on the touch-sensitive display is detected. In response to detecting the first touch input, a process for sharing information about the measurement is initiated.

  • Patent number: 12174006
    Abstract: A computer system displays an annotation placement user interface that includes a representation of a field of view of one or more cameras that is updated over time based on changes in the field of view, a placement user interface element indicating a virtual annotation placement location. If the placement user interface element is over a representation of a physical feature in the physical environment that can be measured, the appearance of the placement user interface element changes in accordance with one or more aspects of the representation of the physical feature, and, in response to an input to perform one or more measurements of the physical feature: if the physical feature is a first type of feature, measurements of a first measurement type are made; and, if a second, different type of physical feature, measurements of a second, different measurement type are made.

  • Publication number: 20240419308
    Abstract: An electronic device that includes or is in communication with a display generation component detects a first input that corresponds to a request to initiate a process for sharing first content. In response to detecting the first input, the electronic device causes display of a sharing interface via the display generation component. Displaying the sharing interface includes concurrently displaying one or more sharing options for sharing content with other devices and instructions for sharing content using a proximity-initiated sharing mode.
