US 12,608,877 B2 · Methods of interacting with content in a virtual environment

Abstract

One or more computer systems switch a representation of a first content item at a docked position in an environment with a representation of a second content item in the environment in response to input, switch from displaying a first environment to displaying a second environment in response to input while displaying a representation of a first content item at a docked position, detect and respond to events corresponding to requests to move virtual content in an environment, detect and respond to events corresponding to requests to transition a mode of display of virtual content in the environment, display a first framing element concurrently with a representation of a content item having different degrees of transparency in response to detecting an input, and/or facilitate docking of a content item in an environment based on an input, and/or determine clusters of virtual objects and restore virtual objects after a reboot event.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

at a computer system in communication with one or more display generation components and one or more input devices:
while displaying, via the one or more display generation components, a first virtual content item in a three-dimensional environment, detecting, via the one or more input devices, a recentering input;
and
in response to detecting the recentering input, shifting the first virtual content item in the three-dimensional environment so that it is closer to a center of a viewport of a user of the computer system, including:
in accordance with a determination that a viewpoint of the user of the computer system has a first viewpoint elevation angle relative to a frame of reference, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, the first virtual content item at a first content elevation angle relative to the frame of reference;
and
in accordance with a determination that the viewpoint of the user of the computer system has a second viewpoint elevation angle relative to the frame of reference, different from the first viewpoint elevation angle, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, the first virtual content item at a second content elevation angle relative to the frame of reference, different from the first content elevation angle.

4 more elements

A computer system that is in communication with one or more display generation components 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:
while displaying, via the one or more display generation components, a first virtual content item in a three-dimensional environment, detecting, via the one or more input devices, a recentering input;
and
in response to detecting the recentering input, shifting the first virtual content item in the three-dimensional environment so that it is closer to a center of a viewport of a user, including:
in accordance with a determination that a viewpoint of the user of the computer system has a first viewpoint elevation angle relative to a frame of reference, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, the first virtual content item at a first content elevation angle relative to the frame of reference;
and
in accordance with a determination that the viewpoint of the user of the computer system has a second viewpoint elevation angle relative to the frame of reference, different from the first viewpoint elevation angle, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, the first virtual content item at a second content elevation angle relative to the frame of reference, different from the first content elevation angle.

7 more elements

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 one or more display generation components and one or more input devices, cause the computer system to perform a method comprising:

while displaying, via the one or more display generation components, a first virtual content item in a three-dimensional environment, detecting, via the one or more input devices, a recentering input;
and
in response to detecting the recentering input, shifting the first virtual content item in the three-dimensional environment so that it is closer to a center of a viewport of a user, including:
in accordance with a determination that a viewpoint of the user of the computer system has a first viewpoint elevation angle relative to a frame of reference, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, the first virtual content item at a first content elevation angle relative to the frame of reference;
and
in accordance with a determination that the viewpoint of the user of the computer system has a second viewpoint elevation angle relative to the frame of reference, different from the first viewpoint elevation angle, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, the first virtual content item at a second content elevation angle relative to the frame of reference, different from the first content elevation angle.
