Method and device for orientation-based view switching

Abstract:

In some implementations, a method includes: obtaining a request to display a virtual object at a location within a computer-generated environment; and, in response to detecting the request to display the virtual object the location within the computer-generated environment: determining a real-world pose for the electronic device relative to a first coordinate space associated with a physical environment; determining a viewing vector by transforming the real-world pose from the first coordinate space to a second coordinate space associated with the computer-generated environment; in accordance with a determination that the viewing vector satisfies viewing criteria, displaying the virtual object at the location within the computer-generated environment according to a first view mode; and in accordance with a determination that the viewing vector satisfies second viewing criteria, displaying the virtual object at the location within the computer-generated environment according to a second view mode.
