18 Claims

1. An electronic device, comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:

displaying an object at an initial position in a three-dimensional computer-generated reality environment;

selecting the object;

while maintaining selection of the object and display of the selected object at the initial position in the three-dimensional computer-generated reality environment:

receiving a first user input at a first time;

in response to receiving the first user input, designating a placement point at a first position in the three-dimensional computer-generated reality environment based on a gaze position at the first time, wherein the first position corresponds to the gaze position at the first time;

while maintaining designation of the placement point:

receiving a second user input;

in response to receiving the second user input, moving the placement point to a second position in the three-dimensional computer-generated reality environment different than the first position, wherein moving the placement point to the second position is not based on the gaze position; and

receiving a third user input; and

in response to receiving the third user input:

ceasing to display the selected object at the initial position in the three-dimensional computer-generated reality environment; and

placing the selected object at the second position in the three-dimensional computer-generated reality environment.
