Aspects of the subject technology relate to gaze-based control of an electronic device. The gaze-based control can include enabling an option to provide user authorization when it is determined that the user has viewed and/or read text associated with a request for the user authorization. The gaze-based control can also include modifying a user interface or a user interface element based on user views and/or reads. The gaze-based control can be based on determining whether a user has viewed and/or read an electronic document and/or a physical document.

Implementations of the subject technology provide a small, portable physical object for use in an extended reality system. The system may include a device that allows a user/wearer to interact with virtual representations of content such as stored data and/or applications overlaid on the user's physical environment. The object has a unique identifier that is obtainable by the device or another device. The object may be an inactive device without any internal circuitry, a passive device with circuitry that is activated by another device, or an active device having its own processing circuitry and/or a display housed in the body of the object. The object can be associated with content displayed by the device to provide a user with a physical object that can be moved or manipulated to move, modify, transport, or store the content generated, stored, and/or displayed in an extended reality environment.

Implementations of the subject technology provide continuous transfer of content editing and/or control between various devices in an extended reality system. The extended reality system includes at least one device that is capable of determining the locations of other devices in the system. This device can manage continuous transfer of control between other devices in the system responsive to three-dimensional location-based user inputs, and/or can manage continuous transfer of control between one or more of the other devices and the device itself.

Implementations of the subject technology provide virtual anchoring for extended reality (XR) display devices. A device may generate an XR environment that includes computer-generated (CG) content for display relative to various physical objects in a physical environment. In order to position the CG content, an XR application may request a physical anchor object to which the CG content can be anchored. In circumstances in which the physical anchor object is not available in the physical environment, a virtual anchor and/or a virtual anchor object corresponding to the physical anchor object can be provided to which the CG content can be anchored.

In one embodiment, a method of intermingling stereoscopic and conforming virtual content to a bounded surface is performed at a device that includes one or more processors, non-transitory memory, and one or more displays. The method includes displaying a bounded surface within a native user computer-generated reality (CGR) environment, wherein the bounded surface is displayed based on a first set of world coordinates characterizing the native user CGR environment. The method further includes displaying a first stereoscopic virtual object within a perimeter of a first side of the bounded surface, wherein the first stereoscopic virtual object is displayed in accordance with a second set of world coordinates that is different from the first set of world coordinates characterizing the native user CGR environment.

The present disclosure relates to techniques for displaying an application in a simulated reality setting. The techniques include determining a position of a physical object on a physical surface (or a position of a virtual object on a representation of the physical surface), displaying a representation of an application in a simulated reality setting, and modifying attributes of the representation of the application in response to detecting changes in the position of the physical object on the physical surface (or changes in the position of the virtual object on the representation of the physical surface). In some embodiments, the attributes of the representation of the application are based on the position of the physical object on the physical surface or the position of the virtual object on the representation of the physical surface.

A method, in an application executing at a client device, includes: receiving a plurality of video feeds, each video feed of the plurality of video feeds corresponding to a respective remote camera of a plurality of remote cameras, where the video feeds are received concurrently by the device from a server system communicatively coupled to the remote cameras; displaying a first user interface, the first user interface including a plurality of user interface objects, each user interface object of the plurality of user interface objects being associated with a respective remote camera of the remote cameras; and displaying in each user interface object of the plurality of user interface objects the video feed corresponding to the respective remote camera with which the user interface object is associated, where at least one of the video feeds is displayed with cropping.

Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide a CGR environment in which virtual objects from one or more apps are included. User interactions with the virtual objects are detected and interpreted by a system that is separate from the apps that provide the virtual objects. The system detects user interactions received via one or more input modalities and interprets those user interactions as events. These events provide a higher-level, input modality-independent, abstractions of the lower-level input-modality dependent user interactions that are detected. The system uses UI capability data provided by the apps to interpret user interactions with respect to the virtual object provided by the apps. For example, the UI capability data can identify whether a virtual object is moveable, actionable, hover-able, etc. and the system interprets user interactions at or near the virtual object accordingly.
