System and method of managing spatial states and display modes in multi-user communication sessions

A first electronic device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory;
• and
• one or more programs stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions of an application for performing a method comprising:
• providing, to an operating system, application data corresponding to a first virtual object, wherein the application data is to be used by the operating system to generate a first set of display parameters according to which a three-dimensional environment is to be presented within a communication session, the first set of display parameters including:
• a spatial parameter for a second user of a second electronic device, different from a first user of the first electronic device, in the communication session;
• a spatial parameter according to which the first virtual object is to be displayed in the three-dimensional environment;
• and
• a display mode parameter for the first virtual object;
• and
• providing, to the operating system, a request to display the first virtual object in the three-dimensional environment, wherein, in response to the request, the operating system causes presentation, via one or more displays, of the three-dimensional environment including a visual representation corresponding to the second user of the second electronic device and the first virtual object, and wherein the visual representation corresponding to the second user and the first virtual object are presented in the three-dimensional environment based on the first set of display parameters.

A method comprising:

• at a first electronic device in communication with one or more displays, one or more input devices, and a second electronic device:
• providing, to an operating system, application data corresponding to a first virtual object, wherein the application data is to be used by the operating system to generate a first set of display parameters according to which a three-dimensional environment is to be presented within a communication session, the first set of display parameters including:
• a spatial parameter for a second user of the second electronic device, different from a first user of the first electronic device, in the communication session;
• a spatial parameter according to which the first virtual object is to be displayed in the three-dimensional environment;
• and
• a display mode parameter for the first virtual object;
• and
• providing, to the operating system, a request to display the first virtual object in the three-dimensional environment, wherein, in response to the request, the operating system causes presentation, via one or more displays, of the three-dimensional environment including a visual representation corresponding to the second user of the second electronic device and the first virtual object, and wherein the visual representation corresponding to the second user and the first virtual object are presented in the three-dimensional environment based on the first set of display parameters.
