Abstract: In one implementation, a method of activating a user interface element is performed at a device including an input device, a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes displaying, on the display, a plurality of user interface elements and receiving, via the input device, a user input including a gesture, the gesture having a first phase and a second phase separated by an amount of time. The method includes, in response to receiving the user input, determining whether to activate a first user interface element in a first mode based on a determination that the amount of time is within a threshold amount of time. The method includes, based on a determination to activate the first user interface element in the first mode, displaying the content in the first content pane by updating the first content pane.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method of activating a user interface element is performed at a device including an input device, an eye tracker, a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes displaying, on the display, a plurality of user interface elements and receiving, via the input device, a user input corresponding to an input location. The method includes determining, using the eye tracker, a gaze location. The method includes, in response to determining that the input location is at least a threshold distance from the gaze location, activating a first user interface element at the gaze location and, in response to determining that it is not, activating a second user interface element at the input location.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein provide views of point clouds with individual points rendered using different visual graphics.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method for navigating windows in 3D. The method includes: displaying a first content pane with a first appearance at a first z-depth within an extended reality (XR) environment, wherein the first content pane includes first content and an input field; detecting a user input directed to the input field; and, in response to detecting the user input directed to the input field: moving the content first pane to a second z-depth within the XR environment, wherein the second z-depth is different from the first z-depth; modifying the first content pane by changing the first content pane from the first appearance to a second appearance; and displaying a second content pane with the first appearance at the first z-depth within the XR environment.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method of displaying content is performed at a device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes displaying, in a first area, a first content pane including first content including a link to second content. The method includes, while displaying the first content pane in the first area, receiving a user input selecting the link to the second content and indicating a second area separate from the first area and not displaying a content pane. The method includes, in response to receiving the user input selecting the link to the second content and indicating the second area, displaying, in the second area, a second content pane including the second content.

Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to presenting animated spatial effects within a computer-generated environment, such as an extended-reality environment. A communication associated with presenting a spatial effect may be received by an electronic device, and in response, the device may present the spatial effect with visual attributes that are selected by the device based on various criteria. Such visual attributes may include an emitting location, an emitting direction, a color, and/or a size of the spatial effect. The criteria used to select the visual attributes may include, for example, whether a representation of the sending user is displayed within the computer-generated environment, a direction of attention of the receiving user, and/or other criteria. Optionally, the spatial effect may include an audio portion with audio attributes that are also selected based on various criteria.
