Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device automatically updates the orientation of a virtual object in a three-dimensional environment based on a viewpoint of a user in the three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, an electronic device automatically updates the orientation of a virtual object in a three-dimensional environment based on viewpoints of a plurality of users in the three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, the electronic device modifies an appearance of a real object that is between a virtual object and the viewpoint of a user in a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, the electronic device automatically selects a location for a user in a three-dimensional environment that includes one or more virtual objects and/or other users.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer system receives data representing a pose of at least a first portion of a user and causes presentation of an avatar that includes a respective avatar feature corresponding to the first portion of the user and presented having a variable display characteristic that is indicative of a certainty of the pose of the first portion of the user. In some embodiments, a computer system receives data indicating current activity of one or more users is activity of a first type and, in response, updates a representation of a user having a first appearance based on a first appearance template. The system receives second data indicating current activity of the one or more users and, in response, updates the appearance of the representation of the first user based on the current activity of the one or more users using the first or a second appearance template.

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 displays a first user interface object with a first appearance at a first position in a first view of a three-dimensional environment that is at least partially shared between a first and second user. While displaying the first user interface object, the computer system detects a first user input by the first user. In response to detecting the first user input: in accordance with a determination that the second user is not currently interacting with the first user interface object, the computer system performs a first operation; and in accordance with a determination that the second user is currently interacting with the first user interface object, the computer system displays a visual indication, that the first user interface object is not available for interaction, including changing an appearance or position of the first user interface object, and forgoes performing the first operation.

Abstract: Recommended avatar placement in a multi-user communication session may include obtaining geometric information associated with a physical environment of a user of a communication device participating in a multi-user communication session; determining an activity type for the multi-user communication session; determining a recommended avatar placement for the user based on the geometric information and the activity type; and displaying an indication of the recommended avatar placement in an environmental representation of the multi-user communication session.
