International Classification:

G06F 3/0481
G06F 3/01
G06F 3/0487

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.

Abstract:

A computer system with a display and a touch-sensitive surface receives a request to display a first user interface that includes a first item, and, in response to the request, displays the first user interface with a representation of the first item. Depending on whether the first item corresponds to a respective virtual three-dimensional object, the first item is displayed either with a visual indication to indicate that the first item corresponds to a first respective virtual three-dimensional object or without the visual indication. In response to a request to display a second user interface, the second user interface is displayed with a representation of the second item. Depending on whether the second item corresponds to a respective virtual three-dimensional object, the representation of the second item is displayed with or without the visual indication.

H04M 1/725

Abstract:

An electronic device: displays a field of view of a camera at a first magnification and updates the displayed field of view over time based on changes detected by the camera. The field of view includes a view of a three-dimensional space. In response to a first touch input, the device adds a measurement point at a first location in the displayed field of view that corresponds to a first location in the three-dimensional space. As the camera moves, the device displays the measurement point at a location in the displayed field of view that corresponds to the first location in the three-dimensional space. In response to a second touch input corresponding to a current location of the measurement point in the displayed field of view, the device enlarges display of the displayed field of view around the measurement point from the first magnification to a second, greater magnification.

Abstract:

A computer system having a display generation component, one or more input devices, and one or more cameras receives a request to display a virtual object in a first user interface region that includes a field of view of the one or more cameras. In response to the request, in accordance with a determination that object-placement criteria are not met, the representation of the virtual object is displayed with a first set of visual properties and with a first orientation that is independent of which portion of the physical environment is displayed in the field of view of the one or more cameras. In accordance with a determination that the object-placement criteria are met, the representation of the virtual object is displayed with a second set of visual properties that are distinct from the first set of visual properties and with a second orientation that corresponds to a plane.

Abstract:

A computer system having a display generation component, one or more input devices, one or more cameras, and one or more attitude sensors receives a request to display an augmented reality view of a physical environment in a first user interface region that includes a representation of a field of view of the one or more cameras. In response to receiving the request, in accordance with a determination that calibration criteria are not met, a calibration user interface object is displayed. In response to detecting a change in attitude of the one or more cameras in the physical environment, at least one display parameter of the calibration user interface object is adjusted in accordance with the detected change. In response to detecting that the calibration criteria are met, the calibration user interface object ceases to be displayed.

Abstract:

A computer system with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and one or more cameras displays a virtual object in a first user interface region. In response to detecting a first input at a location that corresponds to the virtual object and in accordance with a determination that the first input meets first criteria, the virtual object is displayed in a second user interface region. In response to detecting a second input, in accordance with a determination that the second input corresponds to a request to manipulate the virtual object in the second user interface region, a display property of the virtual object is changed, and in accordance with a determination that the second input corresponds to a request to display the virtual object in an augmented reality environment, the virtual object is displayed with a representation of a field of view of the one or more cameras.
