  • Patent number: 12265690
    Abstract: A computer system displays a first view of a user interface of a first application with a first size at a first position corresponding to a location of at least a portion of a palm that is currently facing a viewpoint corresponding to a view of a three-dimensional environment provided via a display generation component. While displaying the first view, the computer system detects a first input that corresponds to a request to transfer display of the first application from the palm to a first surface that is within a first proximity of the viewpoint. In response to detecting the first input, the computer system displays a second view of the user interface of the first application with a second size and an orientation that corresponds to the first surface at a second position defined by the first surface.

  • Publication number: 20250054253
    Abstract: A computer system, while displaying a representation of a physical environment and a first user interface object, detects a portion of a user at a first location within the physical environment, and in response, ceases to display a first portion of the first user interface object while maintaining display of a second portion of the first user interface object. A representation of the portion of the user is visible where the first portion of the first user interface object was previously displayed. In response to detecting movement of the user from the first location to a second location, the computer system restores display of the first portion of the first user interface object, ceases to display the second portion of the first user interface object, and displays the representation of the portion of the user where the second portion of the first user interface object was previously displayed.

  • Publication number: 20250044860
    Abstract: While displaying a three-dimensional scene including physical elements and virtual elements, a computer system detects a sequence of user inputs for increasing a level of immersion of the three-dimensional scene. In response, the computer system increases the quantity of virtual elements displayed in the scene, including displaying an animated transition to replace a portion of a first region occupied by a first set of physical elements with virtual elements in response to a first input, and displaying another animated transition that replaces a portion of a second region occupied by a subset of the remaining physical elements with virtual elements in response to a second input following the first input, wherein virtual elements occupy increasing portions of the scene after each of the first input and the second input.

  • Patent number: 12198260
    Abstract: A computer system displays a first view of a three-dimensional environment including a first representation of a first portion of a physical environment. While displaying the first view, the computer system detects movement of a first user from a first location to a second location of the physical environment, and in response: if the second location corresponds to a first type of exercise, the computer system replaces at least a portion of a second representation of a second portion of the physical environment that includes the second location with virtual content corresponding to the first type of exercise; and if the second location corresponds to a second type of exercise, the computer system replaces at least a portion of a third representation of a third portion of the physical environment that includes the second location with virtual content corresponding to the second type of exercise.
