OBJECT POSITIONING AND MOVEMENT IN THREE DIMENSIONAL CONTENT

Abstract:

Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that enable more intuitive and efficient positioning of an object in a 3D layout, for example, in an enhanced reality (ER) setting providing on a device. In some implementations, objects are automatically positioned based on simulated physics that is selectively enabled during the positioning of the object. In some implementations, objects are automatically positioned based on simulated physics and alignment rules. In some implementations, objects are automatically grouped together based on criteria such that a first object that is grouped with a second object moves with the second object automatically in response to movement of the second object but is moveable independent of the second object.
