Application: Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for interacting with three-dimensional environments (Patent ID: US20240177403A1)
The patent filed by Apple Inc. describes a computer system that displays user interface objects in a shared three-dimensional environment for multiple users. The system detects user inputs and determines whether another user is interacting with the object. If not, it performs operations based on the input. If another user is interacting, a visual indication is displayed to show the object is unavailable for interaction, changing its appearance or position. The system can restore the object's properties, detect gestures like throwing movements, and enable user selection gestures for subsequent inputs.
The method outlined in the patent involves displaying user interface objects in a shared three-dimensional environment, detecting user inputs, and determining interactions between users to enable or restrict operations on the objects. Visual indications are used to communicate availability for interaction, with options for restoring properties, responding to specific gestures, and maintaining spatial relationships between objects and user representations. The system aims to enhance user interactions in shared virtual environments by managing object availability and user gestures effectively.
