  • Publication number: 20230215415
    Abstract: An electronic device includes one or more pose sensors for detecting a pose of a user of the electronic device relative to a first physical environment and is in communication with one or more audio output devices. While a first pose of the user meets first presentation criteria, the electronic device provides audio content at a first simulated spatial location relative to the user. The electronic device detects a change in the pose of the user from the first pose to a second pose. In response to detecting the change in the pose of the user, and in accordance with a determination that the second pose of the user does not meet the first presentation criteria, the electronic device provides audio content at a second simulated spatial location relative to the user that is different from the first simulated spatial location.

  • Publication number: 20230168788
    Abstract: A system displays, via the first display generation component: a first view of a computer-generated three-dimensional environment, including a representation of a physical environment, and a representation of one or more projections of light. The representation of the one or more projections of light has an appearance that corresponds to a spatial relationship between first virtual content present in the computer-generated three-dimensional environment and the representation of the physical environment. The system displays animated changes of the representation of the one or more projections of light and displays alterations of an appearance of a representation of a first surface in the physical environment in accordance with the animated changes of the representation of the one or more projections of light.
