Original Abstract Submitted

while a first view of a three-dimensional environment is visible, a computer system detects a first input meeting selection criteria. if, when the first input was detected, a user was directing attention to a first portion of the first view that has a spatial relationship to a viewport through which the three-dimensional environment is visible, the computer system displays a user interface object including affordances for accessing functions of the computer system; otherwise, the computer system forgoes displaying the user interface object. while a different view of the three-dimensional environment is visible, the computer system detects a second input meeting the selection criteria. if, when the second input was detected, the user was directing attention to a second portion of the different view that has the same spatial relationship to the viewport, the computer system displays the user interface object; otherwise, the computer system forgoes displaying the user interface object.
