Methods for depth conflict mitigation in a three-dimensional environment

A computer system that is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices, the computer system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory;
• and
• one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• displaying, via the display generation component, a virtual object in a three-dimensional environment;
• while displaying the virtual object in the three-dimensional environment, detecting, via the one or more input devices, a first input that includes movement of a first portion of a user of the computer system relative to the virtual object in the three-dimensional environment;
• and
• in response to detecting the first input:
• in accordance with a determination that at least a portion of the first portion of the user has a depth conflict with a first portion of the virtual object in the three-dimensional environment relative to a viewpoint of the user, and at least a portion of the first portion of the user does not have a depth conflict with a second portion of the virtual object in the three-dimensional environment relative to the viewpoint of the user after the movement of the first portion of the user:
• reducing a visual prominence of the first portion of the virtual object in the three-dimensional environment relative to the second portion of the virtual object, wherein reducing the visual prominence of the first portion of the virtual object includes increasing a degree to which a portion of the three-dimensional environment, that is behind the first portion of the virtual object from the viewpoint of the user, is visible from the viewpoint of the user;
• and
• maintaining display of the second portion of the virtual object in the three-dimensional environment;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that at least a portion of the first portion of the user does not have a depth conflict with the virtual object in the three-dimensional environment relative to the viewpoint of the user after the movement of the first portion of the user, maintaining display of the first portion and the second portion of the virtual object without reducing the visual prominence of the first portion of the virtual object in the three-dimensional environment relative to the visual prominence of the second portion of the virtual object.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices, cause the computer system to perform a method comprising:

• displaying, via the display generation component, a virtual object in a three-dimensional environment;
• while displaying the virtual object in the three-dimensional environment, detecting, via the one or more input devices, a first input that includes movement of a first portion of a user of the computer system relative to the virtual object in the three-dimensional environment;
• and
• in response to detecting the first input:
• in accordance with a determination that at least a portion of the first portion of the user has a depth conflict with a first portion of the virtual object in the three-dimensional environment relative to a viewpoint of the user, and at least a portion of the first portion of the user does not have a depth conflict with a second portion of the virtual object in the three-dimensional environment relative to the viewpoint of the user after the movement of the first portion of the user:
• reducing a visual prominence of the first portion of the virtual object in the three-dimensional environment relative to the second portion of the virtual object, wherein reducing the visual prominence of the first portion of the virtual object includes increasing a degree to which a portion of the three-dimensional environment, that is behind the first portion of the virtual object from the viewpoint of the user, is visible from the viewpoint of the user;
• and
• maintaining display of the second portion of the virtual object in the three-dimensional environment;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that at least a portion of the first portion of the user does not have a depth conflict with the virtual object in the three-dimensional environment relative to the viewpoint of the user after the movement of the first portion of the user, maintaining display of the first portion and the second portion of the virtual object without reducing the visual prominence of the first portion of the virtual object in the three-dimensional environment relative to the visual prominence of the second portion of the virtual object.
