- at a device stand that includes one or more light sources:
- while an external device is coupled to the device stand, wherein the device stand includes an attachment point that is configured to attach to the external device and hold the external device in a respective pose relative to a physical environment, detecting a respective event corresponding to the external device;
- and
- in response to detecting the respective event corresponding to the external device and in accordance with a determination that the respective event is a first event, illuminating, via the one or more light sources, a first portion of the device stand in a first manner.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a device stand that includes one or more light sources, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- while an external device is coupled to the device stand, wherein the device stand includes an attachment point that is configured to attach to the external device and hold the external device in a respective pose relative to a physical environment, detecting a respective event corresponding to the external device;
- and
- in response to detecting the respective event corresponding to the external device and in accordance with a determination that the respective event is a first event, illuminating, via the one or more light sources, a first portion of the device stand in a first manner.
