  • Publication number: 20250063009
    Abstract: Disclosed are media attachment systems to enable a user to embed a first media item with a link to a second media item, and distribute the first media item in a message to one or more recipient client devices. For example, the first media item may include a picture or video captured by a user at a client device. The user may generate a message that includes the first media item. In response, a media attachment system may cause display of an interface at the client device that includes an option to attach an address to a second media item to the message. For example, the second media item may include a web page, social media post, picture, or video identified by an address such as a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

  • Publication number: 20250053225
    Abstract: A computer system, while displaying a first view of a three-dimensional environment that corresponds to a first viewpoint of a user, displays a first user interface object at a first position in the three-dimensional environment that has a first spatial relationship with the first viewpoint of the user. While displaying the first view of the three-dimensional environment including the first user interface object at the first position in the three-dimensional environment, the computer system, in response to detecting a first input that is directed to at least a first portion of the first user interface object, displays a second user interface object at a second position in the three-dimensional environment and moves the first user interface object from the first position to a third position in the three-dimensional environment that has a greater distance from the first viewpoint of the user than the first position in the three-dimensional environment.

  • Publication number: 20250029319
    Abstract: A computer system displays representations of second computer systems included in a communication session and/or content in an environment in some embodiments. For example, the computer system displays the representations of the second computer systems in a first region while content is not shared in the communication session and displays the representations of the second computer systems in a second region different from the first region concurrently with content that is shared in the communication session. In some embodiments, the computer system displays the representations of the second computer system (e.g., a representation of a shared content item) such that it partially occludes a representation of the one or more participants of the video communication session when the representation of the one or more participants is a non-spatial representation.

  • Publication number: 20240411421
    Abstract: A computer system detects an input to invoke a home menu user interface. In response to detecting the input, the computer system displays, via one or more display generation components, the home menu user interface in a three-dimensional environment, including: if a viewpoint of a user in the three-dimensional environment had a first elevation relative to a reference plane in the three-dimensional environment, displaying the home menu user interface at a first height in the three-dimensional environment; and, if the viewpoint of the user in the three-dimensional environment had a second elevation relative to the reference plane in the three-dimensional environment, the second elevation being different from the first elevation, displaying the home menu user interface at a second height in the three-dimensional environment, the second height being different from the first height.

  • Publication number: 20240184356
    Abstract: A computer system displays a view of a communication session between a first and second user of a first and second display generation component, respectively. The view of the communication session includes a view of a three-dimensional environment, virtual content shared between the first and second user, and a representation of the second user based on a virtual spatial relationship between the first and second user in the three-dimensional environment. While displaying the view of the communication session, the computer system displays a user interface, including a control object, and detects a user input activating the control object. In response, the computer system modifies the appearance of a three-dimensional region of the three-dimensional environment for the first user of the first display generation component, and initiates a process for modifying the appearance of the three-dimensional region of the three-dimensional environment displayed at the second display generation component.

  • Publication number: 20240153205
    Abstract: While a representation of a three-dimensional environment is visible via the first display generation component, a computer system, displays, via a second display generation component, one or more graphical elements that provide a visual indication of a status associated with a user who is in a position to view the representation of the three-dimensional environment, including changing the one or more graphical elements to represent changes in the status associated with the user. In response to detecting a first event that corresponds to the start of media capture using the computer system, the computer system displays, via the second display generation component, a first visual alert that indicates the start of media capture, wherein the first visual alert is displayed concurrently with at least a portion of the one or more graphical elements.

  • Patent number: 11934569
    Abstract: A computer system displays a first and second user interface object in a three-dimensional environment. The first and second user interface objects have a first and second spatial relationship to a first and second anchor position corresponding to a location of a user's hand in a physical environment, respectively. While displaying the first and second user interface objects in the three-dimensional environment, the computer system detects movement of the user's hand in the physical environment, corresponding to a translational movement and a rotational movement of the user's hand relative to a viewpoint, and in response, translates the first and second user interface objects relative to the viewpoint in accordance with the translational movement of the user's hand, and rotates the first user interface object relative to the viewpoint in accordance with the rotational movement of the user's hand without rotating the second user interface object.

  • Publication number: 20230350539
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer system modifies the visual appearances of user interface objects based on their spatial arrangement relative to the viewpoint of the user in a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, a computer system displays, via a display generation component, a representation of a message in a three-environment at a first distance from a viewpoint of the user, and then changes the distance of the representation of the message to be a second distance from the viewpoint of the user. In some embodiments, a computer system is configured to transition virtual objects from a three-dimensional appearance to a two-dimensional appearance and/or from a two-dimensional appearance to a three-dimensional appearance.
