Abstract: In one implementation, a method of playing audio is performed at a device including one or more processors coupled to non-transitory memory. The method includes playing audio associated with an object at a frequency-dependent volume based on a distance between a user location and an object location, an object orientation with respect to the user location, and the frequency-dependent three-dimensional audio emission pattern. In various implementations, methods of visualizing the frequency-dependent three-dimensional audio emission pattern and changing properties thereof are disclosed.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include a method performed by a device. While executing a CGR application, the method includes displaying a three-dimensional object in a three-dimensional space, wherein the three-dimensional space is defined by a three-dimensional coordinate system. The method also includes: detecting a first user input directed to the three-dimensional object; and in response to detecting the first user input, displaying a spatial manipulation user interface element including a set of spatial manipulation affordances respectively associated with a set of spatial manipulations of the three-dimensional object, wherein each of the set of spatial manipulations corresponds to a translational movement of the three-dimensional object along a corresponding axis of the three-dimensional space.

Abstract: A computer-generated virtual object manipulator having one or more affordances for manipulating a computer-generated virtual object is disclosed. Selection of a virtual object can cause an object manipulator to be displayed over the virtual object. The object manipulator can include a cone-shaped single-axis translation affordance for each of one or more object axes, a disc-shaped single-axis scale affordance for each of the one or more object axes, an arc-shaped rotation affordance for rotation about each of the one or more object axes, and a center of object affordance for free space movement of the virtual object. The object manipulator can also include a slice-shaped two-axis translation affordance that can be displayed after hovering over an area in a particular plane.

Abstract: A computer-generated virtual light source manipulator having one or more affordances for manipulating a computer-generated virtual light sources is disclosed. Selection of a virtual light source can cause a light source manipulator tailored for that virtual light source to be displayed over the virtual light source. The light source manipulator can include various lines, circles and the like that can define starting boundaries (e.g., surfaces that represent the start location and initial aperture of light emission from the virtual light source), ending boundaries (e.g., surfaces that represent the extent or reach (i.e., end location or projection distance) and final aperture of light transmission from the virtual light source), and fade boundaries (e.g., surfaces that represent the beginning of the fading of the virtual light source). The light source manipulators can also include one or more disc or spherical affordances for adjusting these boundaries.

Abstract: A method includes displaying a spatial manipulation user interface element including a first set of spatial manipulation affordances respectively associated with a first set of spatial manipulations of a three-dimensional object. The first set of spatial manipulations is based on a first virtual camera perspective.

The second set of spatial manipulations is based on the second virtual camera perspective, and includes a spatial manipulation excluded from the first set of spatial manipulations.
