  • CROWN INPUT FOR A WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
    Publication number: 20240385741
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to manipulating a user interface on a wearable electronic device using a mechanical crown. In some examples, the user interface can be scrolled or scaled in response to a rotation of the crown. The direction of the scrolling or scaling and the amount of scrolling or scaling can depend on the direction and amount of rotation of the crown, respectively. In some examples, the amount of scrolling or scaling can be proportional to the change in rotation angle of the crown. In other examples, a speed of scrolling or a speed of scaling can depend on a speed of angular rotation of the crown. In these examples, a greater speed of rotation can cause a greater speed of scrolling or scaling to be performed on the displayed view.

  • Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Interacting with Three-Dimensional Environments
    Publication number: 20240385725
    Abstract: While a view of an environment is visible via the display generation component of a computer system, a first motion input that includes movement of the remote input device in a physical environment is detected. In response to detecting the first motion input and in accordance with a determination that a gaze detected by the computer system was directed to a first object when the first motion input was detected, the first object is moved in the environment in accordance with the first motion input. In response to detecting the first motion input and in accordance with a determination that the gaze detected by the computer system was not directed to the first object when the first motion input was detected, the computer system forgoes moving the first object in the environment in accordance with the first motion input.
