Abstract
In one implementation, a method is disclosed for controlling attention diversions while presenting computer-generated reality (CGR) environments on an electronic device. The method includes presenting content representing a view of CGR environment on a display. While presenting the content, an object is detected in a physical environment in which the electronic device is located using an image sensor of the electronic device. The method further includes determining whether the object exhibits a characteristic indicative of attention-seeking behavior. In accordance with a determination that the object exhibits the characteristic, a visual cue corresponding to the object is presented on a first portion of the display without modifying the presentation of the content on a second portion of the display.
