Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device with a one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a display. The method includes obtaining a first semantic label value associated with a first object. The method includes determining, based on the first semantic label value, a first display priority value associated with the first object. The method includes prioritizing the first object over a second object based on the first display priority value. The method includes, in response to determining that the first object satisfies an offscreen criterion, displaying, on the display, an offscreen indicator that is associated with the first object according to the prioritization.

Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device with a one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a display. The method includes presenting, on the display, a plurality of objects including a first object and a second object. The method includes obtaining a first display priority value that is associated with the first object. The method includes prioritizing the first object over the second object based on a function of the first display priority value. The method includes, in response to determining that each of the first object and the second object satisfies an offscreen criterion, displaying, on the display, a first offscreen indicator that is associated with the first object according to the prioritization.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method for spatially designating private content. The method includes: presenting, via a display device, an indication of a private viewing region relative to a location of the computing system; determining a first location for presentation of graphical content; and presenting, via the display device, the graphical content at the first location. The method further includes: transmitting a characterization vector associated with the graphical content to at least one other device for display thereon according to a determination that the first location of the graphical content is outside of the private viewing area; and forgoing transmission of the characterization vector associated with the graphical content to the at least one other device according to a determination that the first location of the graphical content is inside of the private viewing area.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method of displaying a task list is performed by a device including an image sensor, a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes obtaining, using the image sensor, a video stream of a physical environment. The method includes displaying, on the display in association with the physical environment, a task list including a plurality of task elements respectively associated with a plurality of tasks, wherein the plurality of task elements includes a first task element associated with a first task and a second task element associated with a second task. The method includes detecting, in the video stream of the physical environment, completion of the first task. The method includes, in response to detecting completion of the first task, changing display of the first task element.

Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device with a controller and a display. The method includes identifying, within a first memory, a first object that satisfies a locked criterion. For example, the first object corresponds to a head-locked object or a body-locked object. The first object is associated with a first plurality of pixel values. The method includes blitting, via the controller, the first plurality of pixel values from the first memory to a second memory. The method includes displaying, on the display, the first object by obtaining the first plurality of pixel values from the second memory. In some implementations, the method includes rendering, via a graphics processing unit (GPU), a second object that does not satisfy the locked criterion, such as a world-locked object. As compared with GPU rendering, blitting is less computationally expensive.

Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device including one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a first input device. The method includes detecting, via the first input device, an input directed to a first location within a physical environment. The first location is identified by an extremity tracking function based on the input. The method includes determining an interaction event based on a function of a semantic identifier that is associated with a portion of the first location. The method includes presenting computer-generated content that is a function of the interaction event.
