Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device uses different algorithms for moving objects in a three-dimensional environment based on the directions of such movements. In some 5 embodiments, an electronic device modifies the size of an object in the three-dimensional environment as the distance between that object and a viewpoint of the user changes. In some embodiments, an electronic device selectively resists movement of an object when that object comes into contact with another object in a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, an electronic device selectively adds an object to another object in a 10 three-dimensional environment based on whether the other object is a valid drop target for that object. In some embodiments, an electronic device facilitates movement of multiple objects concurrently in a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, an electronic device facilitates throwing of objects in a three-dimensional environment.
