Extended reality based digital assistant interactions

An electronic device, comprising:

• one or more sensors;
• one or more processors;
• a 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 a portion of an extended reality (XR) environment representing a current field of view of a user of the electronic device:
• detecting, with the one or more sensors, a user gaze at a first object displayed in the XR environment, wherein the first object is persistent in the current field of view of the XR environment;
• in response to detecting the user gaze at the first object, expanding the first object into a list of objects, wherein the list of objects includes a second object representing a digital assistant;
• detecting, with the one or more sensors, a user gaze at the second object;
• in accordance with detecting the user gaze at the second object,
• displaying a first animation of the second object indicating that a digital assistant session is initiated;
• receiving a first audio input from the user of the electronic device;
• and
• displaying a second animation of the second object indicating that the digital assistant is actively listening to the user in response to receiving the first audio input, wherein the first animation is different from the second animation of the second object.

A method, comprising:

• at an electronic device with one or more processors, memory, and one or more sensors:
• while displaying a portion of an extended reality (XR) environment representing a current field of view of a user of the electronic device:
• detecting, with the one or more sensors, a user gaze at a first object displayed in the XR environment, wherein the first object is persistent in the current field of view of the XR environment;
• in response to detecting the user gaze at the first object, expanding the first object into a list of objects, wherein the list of objects includes a second object representing a digital assistant;
• detecting, with the one or more sensors, a user gaze at the second object;
• in accordance with detecting the user gaze at the second object, displaying a first animation of the second object indicating that a digital assistant session is initiated;
• receiving a first audio input from the user of the electronic device;
• and
• displaying a second animation of the second object indicating that the digital assistant is actively listening to the user in response to receiving the first audio input, wherein the first animation is different from the second animation of the second object.
