Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device with a one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a display. The method includes presenting, on the display, a plurality of objects including a first object and a second object. The method includes obtaining a first display priority value that is associated with the first object. The method includes prioritizing the first object over the second object based on a function of the first display priority value. The method includes, in response to determining that each of the first object and the second object satisfies an offscreen criterion, displaying, on the display, a first offscreen indicator that is associated with the first object according to the prioritization.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method of authenticating a user is performed by a first device including a camera, an eye tracker, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes obtaining, via the camera, an image of a physical environment. The method includes detecting, in the image of the physical environment, a second device. The method includes determining, using the eye tracker, a gaze of a user. The method includes determining that the gaze of the user is directed to the second device. The method includes, in response to determining that the gaze of the user is directed to the second device, transmitting authentication credentials to the second device.

Abstract: In an exemplary technique, speech input including one or more instructions is received. After the speech input has stopped, if it is determined that one or more visual characteristics indicate that further speech input is not expected, a response to the one or more instructions is provided. If it is determined that one or more visual characteristics indicate that further speech input is expected, a response to the one or more instructions is not provided.

Abstract: A method performed by an audio system comprising a headset. The method sends a playback signal containing user-desired audio content to drive a speaker of the headset that is being worn by a user, receives a microphone signal from a microphone that is arranged to capture sounds within an ambient environment in which the user is located, performs a speech detection algorithm upon the microphone signal to detect speech contained therein, in response to a detection of speech, determines that the user intends to engage in a conversation with a person who is located within the ambient environment, and, in response to determining that the user intends to engage in the conversation, adjusts the playback signal based on the user-desired audio content.

Abstract: In various implementations, methods and devices for attenuation of co-user interactions in SR space are described. In one implementation, a method of attenuating avatars based on a breach of avatar social interaction criteria is performed at a device provided to deliver simulated reality (SR) content. In one implementation, a method of close collaboration in SR setting is performed at a device provided to deliver SR content.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for spatial audio navigation that may, for example, be implemented by mobile multipurpose devices. A spatial audio navigation system provides navigational information in audio form to direct users to target locations. The system uses directionality of audio played through a binaural audio device to provide navigational cues to the user. A current location, target location, and map information may be input to pathfinding algorithms to determine a real world path between the user's current location and the target location. The system may then use directional audio played through a headset to guide the user on the path from the current location to the target location. The system may implement one or more of several different spatial audio navigation methods to direct a user when following a path using spatial audio-based cues.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may be used with an external electronic device. One or more sensors on the head-mounted device may obtain sensor data that is used to determine whether the external electronic device is actively being viewed. When the external electronic device is actively being viewed, a notification may be presented on a display of the external electronic device. When the external electronic device is not actively being viewed, a notification may be presented on a display of the head-mounted device. An electronic device may determine whether a display in the electronic device is being viewed by one or more viewers. When the display is being viewed by more than one viewer, the electronic device may send an instruction to a head-mounted device to cause the head-mounted device to present a notification.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for displaying a visual indication of audibility of an audible signal. In various implementations, a device includes a display, an audio sensor, a processor and a non-transitory memory. In various implementations, a method includes receiving, via the audio sensor, an audible signal and converting the audible signal to electronic signal data. In various implementations, the method includes obtaining environmental data that indicates audio response characteristics of a physical environment in which the device is located. In various implementations, the method includes displaying, on the display, an indicator that indicates a distance from a source of the audible signal at which the audible signal is audible. In some implementations, the distance is based on an amplitude associated with the electronic signal data and the audio response characteristics of the physical environment.
