Abstract: A computer system displays an immersion control, a volume control, an element configured to permit or restrict breakthrough in different modes of operation of the computer system, and/or an option selectable to cause initiation of display of a representation of content from a second computer system via a display generation component of the computer system. While a second computer system is displaying content, a first computer system detects an input corresponding to a request to display a representation of the content from the second computer system via a display generation component of the first computer system, and in response, initiates a process to display the representation of content and to de-emphasize the content displayed by the second computer system. A first computer system facilitates disambiguation of a second computer system from a plurality of computer systems for display of a representation of content from the second computer system.

In response to detecting occurrence of a second condition at the device, the device generates a second alert that corresponds to a respective application in a second class of applications different from the first class of applications, the second alert including: a second haptic component and a second audio component composed from an audio waveform that is designated for use by applications in the second class of applications.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for providing computer-generated user experience sessions in an extended reality environment. In some embodiments, a computer system provides a computer-generated user experience session with particles that move based on breathing characteristics of a user. In some embodiments, a computer system provides a computer-generated user experience session with options selected based on characteristics of an XR environment. In some embodiments, a computer system provides a computer-generated user experience session with a soundscape having randomly selected curated sound components.

Abstract: An electronic device with one or more processors and memory, and in communication with a display and an audio system presents, under control of the electronic device, via the audio system, a first audio output, the first audio output having a volume and an audio property other than volume (e.g., a reverberation time, a low-pass filter cutoff, or a stereo balance). While the audio system presents a first audio output, the device receives an input that corresponds to a request to present a second audio output, and in response, the device concurrently presents, via the audio system, an adjusted version of the first audio output in which the audio property other than volume of the first audio output has been adjusted and the second audio output.

Abstract: A headset can include left and right ear-worn speakers and a control. In response to a control input of the control, the ear-worn speakers can be driven with driver signals that include a control sound having a virtual location determined by spatial auditory cues. The control sound can indicate a behavior of the control as a result of the control input. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

Abstract: An electronic device detects a first input directed to a first affordance in a set of one or more affordances displayed on a display. In response to detecting the first input, the electronic device initiates presentation of a first audio output having a first audio profile. The electronic device later detects a second input directed to a second affordance in the set. In response to detecting the second input and if audio alteration criteria are satisfied, the electronic device causes: (i) presentation of altered first audio output having an altered audio profile and (ii) presentation of a second audio output having a second audio profile. In response to detecting the second input and if the audio alteration criteria are not satisfied, the electronic device causes: (i) continued presentation of the first audio output and (ii) presentation of a third audio output having a third audio profile.

Abstract: An electronic device can output a priming cue prior to outputting an alert on the electronic device. A priming cue can be a haptic priming cue, a visual priming cue, an audio priming cue, or various combinations of these priming cues. The priming cue can be perceived by a user either consciously or subconsciously and can increase a user's perceptual state for the alert.

Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface, a display, tactile output generator(s) for generating tactile outputs, and orientation sensor(s) for determining a current orientation of the electronic device displays a user interface on the display, where the user interface includes an indicator of current device orientation. The device detects movement of the device. In response to detecting the movement: in accordance with a determination that the current orientation of the device meets criteria: the device changes the user interface to indicate that the criteria are met by the current orientation of the device and generates a tactile output upon changing the user interface to indicate that the first criteria are met by the current orientation of the device; and in accordance with a determination that the current orientation of the device does not meet the criteria, the device changes the user interface without generating the tactile output.

While displaying the item navigation user interface, the device further detects a drag gesture on the touch-sensitive surface including movement from a first location corresponding to the representation of the first index value to a second location corresponding to a representation of a second index value. In response, the device generates a tactile output and switches from displaying the first portion to the second portion of the items.

Abstract: While a first wearable audio output component of a wearable audio output device is in a first position relative to a first ear of a user and a second wearable audio output component of the wearable audio output device is in the first position relative to a second ear, a computer system operates the wearable audio output device in a first mode. While doing so, the computer system detects a change in position of the first component from the first position to a second position; and, in response, while the second component is maintained in the first position, the computer system transitions the wearable audio output device from the first mode to a different, second mode that is a pass-through mode in which audio outputs provided via the wearable audio output device include pass-through audio components that include at least a portion of ambient sound from the physical environment.
