Abstract: A computer system displays a first view of a three-dimensional environment, including a first and second user interface objects at distinct first and second positions. While displaying the first view, the computer system detects a first gaze input directed to a first region in the three-dimensional environment corresponding to the first position. While detecting the first gaze input, the computer system detects first movement of a hand meeting first gesture criteria. In accordance with a determination that the first movement is detected after the first gaze input meets first gaze criteria requiring the gaze to be held at the first region for at least a first preset extended amount of time, the computer system selects the first user interface object; and in accordance with a determination that the first movement is detected before the gaze meeting the first gaze criteria, the computer system forgoes selecting the first user interface object.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device emphasizes and/or deemphasizes user interfaces based on the gaze of a user. In some embodiments, an electronic device defines levels of immersion for different user interfaces independently of one another. In some embodiments, an electronic device resumes display of a user interface at a previously-displayed level of immersion after (e.g., temporarily) reducing the level of immersion associated with the user interface. In some embodiments, an electronic device allows objects, people, and/or portions of an environment to be visible through a user interface displayed by the electronic device. In some embodiments, an electronic device reduces the level of immersion associated with a user interface based on characteristics of the electronic device and/or physical environment of the electronic device.
