Systems and methods of updating a manner of display of three-dimensional objects
Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for minimizing display of an object from a maximized state to a minimized state in a three-dimensional environment. In some examples, an electronic device presents a computer-generated environment that includes a virtual object displayed in a maximized state in the three-dimensional environment.
