Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device facilitates cursor interactions in different regions in a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, an electronic device facilitates cursor interactions in content. In some embodiments, an electronic device facilitates cursor movement. In some embodiments, an electronic device facilitates interaction with multiple input devices. In some embodiments, a computer system facilitates cursor movement based on movement of a hand of a user of the computer system and a location of a gaze of the user in the three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, a computer system facilitates cursor selection and scrolling of content in the three-dimensional environment.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device uses different algorithms for moving objects in a three-dimensional environment based on the directions of such movements. In some embodiments, an electronic device modifies the size of an object in the three-dimensional environment as the distance between that object and a viewpoint of the user changes. In some embodiments, an electronic device selectively resists movement of an object when that object comes into contact with another object in a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, an electronic device selectively adds an object to another object in a three-dimensional environment based on whether the other object is a valid drop target for that object. In some embodiments, an electronic device facilitates movement of multiple objects concurrently in a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, an electronic device facilitates throwing of objects in a three-dimensional environment.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device selectively performs operations in response to user inputs depending on whether the inputs are preceded by detecting a ready state. In some embodiments, an electronic device processes user inputs based on an attention zone associated with the user. In some embodiments, an electronic device enhances interactions with user interface elements at different distances and/or angles with respect to a gaze of a user. In some embodiments, an electronic device enhances interactions with user interface elements for mixed direct and indirect interaction modes. In some embodiments, an electronic device manages inputs from two of the user's hands and/or presents visual indications of user inputs. In some embodiments, an electronic device enhances interactions with user interface elements in a three-dimensional environment using visual indications of such interactions. In some embodiments, an electronic device redirects a selection input from one user interface element to another.

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.
