    Abstract: An electronic device that is in communication with one or more wearable audio output devices detects occurrence of an event while the one or more wearable audio output devices are being worn by a user. In response to detecting the occurrence of the event, the electronic device outputs, via the one or more wearable audio output devices, one or more audio notifications corresponding to the event, including: in accordance with a determination that the user of the electronic device is currently engaged in a conversation, delaying outputting the one or more audio notifications corresponding to the event until the conversation has ended; and, in accordance with a determination that the user of the electronic device is not currently engaged in a conversation, outputting the one or more audio notifications corresponding to the event without delaying the outputting.

    Abstract: One exemplary implementation provides an improved user experience on a device by using physiological data to initiate a user interaction for the user experience based on an identified interest or intention of a user. For example, a sensor may obtain physiological data (e.g., pupil diameter) of a user during a user experience in which content is displayed on a display. The physiological data varies over time during the user experience and a pattern is detected. The detected pattern is used to identify an interest of the user in the content or an intention of the user regarding the content. The user interaction is then initiated based on the identified interest or the identified intention.

    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for using a gaze vector and head pose information to activate a display interface in an environment. In some implementations, a device includes a sensor for sensing a head pose of a user, a display, one or more processors, and a memory. In various implementations, a method includes displaying an environment comprising a field of view. Based on a gaze vector, it is determined that a gaze of the user is directed to a first location within the field of view. A head pose value corresponding to the head pose of the user is obtained. On a condition that the head pose value corresponds to a motion of the head of the user toward the first location, a user interface is displayed in the environment.

    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that present virtual content based on detecting a reflective object and determining a three-dimensional (3D) position of the reflective object in a physical environment. For example, an example process may include obtaining sensor data in a physical environment that includes one or more objects. The method may further include detecting a reflection of a first object of the one or more objects upon a reflective surface of a reflective object based on the sensor data. The method may further include determining a 3D position of the reflective object in the physical environment based on determining a 3D position of the reflection of the first object. The method may further include presenting virtual content in a view of the physical environment. The virtual content may be positioned at a 3D location based on the 3D position of the reflective object.

    Abstract: An electronic device that is in communication with one or more wearable audio output devices detects occurrence of one or more first event while the one or more wearable audio output devices are being worn by a user. In response, the electronic device outputs, via the one or more wearable audio output devices, audio content corresponding to the one or more first events. After outputting the audio content corresponding to the one or more first events, the electronic device detects movement of the one or more wearable audio output devices, and in response to detecting the movement, and in accordance with a determination that a first movement of the one or more wearable audio output devices meets first movement criteria, outputs, via the one or more wearable audio output devices additional audio content corresponding to one or more events.
