  • Publication number: 20260161878
    Abstract: In some examples, the electronic device or a second electronic device in communication with the electronic device displays text at a first font size. In some examples, while displaying text at the first font size, the electronic device obtains a first set of data relating to the user of the electronic device and stores the first set of data. In some examples, at a second time, after the first time, the electronic device obtains a second set of data related to the user of the electronic device. In some examples, the electronic device compares the first set of data and the second set of data and if the second set of data satisfies one or more criteria, the electronic device updates the text size from the first font size to a second font size.

  • Publication number: 20260083322
    Abstract: A method for a self-guided vision test can include, at a first electronic device in communication with a second electronic device, obtaining data indicative of a position of a target displayed by the second electronic device relative to the first electronic device or a user of the first electronic device while the target moves relative to the first electronic device, tracking, using one or more first image sensors, a direction of gaze of the user, and based on a relationship between the position of the target and the direction of gaze while the target moves relative to the first electronic device or a user of the first electronic device, presenting an indication of abnormal eye movement.

  • 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: 20250285566
    Abstract: This relates generally to systems and methods for changing tinting levels of one or more lenses or displays, and more particularly to changing tinting levels of one or more lenses or displays of an electronic device in response to environmental stimuli. In some examples, an electronic device applies a first tinting level to the one or more lenses or displays (e.g., a dedicated layer of the display or a discrete layer that is separate from a display to adjust opacity). In some examples, while applying the first tinting level to the one or more lenses or displays, the electronic device determines that the one or more criteria are satisfied. In some examples, in response to determining that the one or more criteria are satisfied, the electronic device applies a second tinting level, different than the first tinting level to the one or more lenses or displays.

  • 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: 20250099814
    Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for presenting extended reality environments and, more particularly, to displaying one or more images relating to exercises in a physical environment while presenting an extended reality environment. In some situations, the electronic device detects an initiation of an exercise activity of a user of the electronic device using at least an optical sensor. In some examples, the electronic device presents a user interface including a representation of the identified exercise activity in the extended reality environment. In some examples, in response to detecting progression of the identified exercise activity, the user interface is updated with the updated representation of the exercise activity. In some examples, the electronic device presents a rest user interface during rest periods and/or after detecting rest.

  • 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.
