CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/375,991, filed Sep. 16, 2022, the content of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. 
    
    
     FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     This relates generally to systems and methods of application-based three-dimensional refinement of objects in multi-user communication sessions. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     Some computer graphical environments provide two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional environments where at least some objects displayed for a user&#39;s viewing are virtual and generated by a computer. In some examples, the three-dimensional environments are presented by multiple devices communicating in a multi-user communication session. In some examples, an avatar (e.g., a representation) of each user participating in the multi-user communication session (e.g., via the computing devices) is displayed in the three-dimensional environment of the multi-user communication session. In some examples, content can be shared in the three-dimensional environment for viewing and interaction by multiple users participating in the multi-user communication session. In some examples, shared content and/or avatars corresponding to the users participating in the multi-user communication session can be moved within the three-dimensional environment. 
     SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for application-based spatial refinement in a multi-user communication session. In some examples, a first electronic device and a second electronic device may be communicatively linked in a multi-user communication session. In some examples, the first electronic device may present a three-dimensional environment including a first shared object and an avatar corresponding to a user of the second electronic device. In some examples, while the first electronic device is presenting the three-dimensional environment, the first electronic device may receive a first input corresponding to a request to move the first shared object in a first manner in the three-dimensional environment. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first shared object is an object of a first type, the first electronic device may move the first shared object and the avatar in the three-dimensional environment in the first manner in accordance with the first input. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first shared object is an object of a second type, different from the first type, and the first input is a first type of input, the first electronic device may move the first shared object in the three-dimensional environment in the first manner in accordance with the first input, without moving the avatar. 
     In some examples, an object of the first type corresponds to an object that has a horizontal orientation in the three-dimensional environment relative to a viewpoint of a user of the first electronic device. In some examples, an object of the second type corresponds to an object that has a vertical orientation in the three-dimensional environment relative to a viewpoint of a user of the first electronic device. In some examples, the first manner of movement directed to the first shared object includes forward or backward movement of the first shared object in the three-dimensional environment relative to the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device. In some examples, if the first shared object is an object of the second type, the first electronic device scales the first shared object in the three-dimensional environment when the first shared object is moved in the three-dimensional environment in the first manner in accordance with the first input.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for application-based spatial refinement in a multi-user communication session. In some examples, a first electronic device and a second electronic device may be communicatively linked in a multi-user communication session. In some examples, the first electronic device may present a three-dimensional environment including a first shared object and an avatar corresponding to a user of the second electronic device. In some examples, while the first electronic device is presenting the three-dimensional environment, the first electronic device may receive a first input corresponding to a request to move the first shared object in a first manner in the three-dimensional environment. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first shared object is an object of a first type, the first electronic device may move the first shared object and the avatar in the three-dimensional environment in the first manner in accordance with the first input. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first shared object is an object of a second type, different from the first type, and the first input is a first type of input, the first electronic device may move the first shared object in the three-dimensional environment in the first manner in accordance with the first input, without moving the avatar. 
     In some examples, an object of the first type corresponds to an object that has a horizontal orientation in the three-dimensional environment relative to a viewpoint of a user of the first electronic device. In some examples, an object of the second type corresponds to an object that has a vertical orientation in the three-dimensional environment relative to a viewpoint of a user of the first electronic device. In some examples, the first manner of movement directed to the first shared object includes forward or backward movement of the first shared object in the three-dimensional environment relative to the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device. In some examples, if the first shared object is an object of the second type, the first electronic device scales the first shared object in the three-dimensional environment when the first shared object is moved in the three-dimensional environment in the first manner in accordance with the first input. 
     In some examples, performing spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment while in the multi-user communication session may include interaction with one or more objects in the three-dimensional environment. For example, initiation of spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment can include interaction with one or more virtual objects displayed in the three-dimensional environment. In some examples, a user&#39;s gaze may be tracked by the electronic device as an input for identifying one or more virtual objects targeted for selection when initiating spatial refinement while in the multi-user communication session. For example, gaze can be used to identify one or more virtual objects targeted for selection using another selection input. In some examples, a virtual object may be selected using hand-tracking input detected via an input device in communication with the electronic device. In some examples, objects displayed in the three-dimensional environment may be moved and/or reoriented in the three-dimensional environment in accordance with movement input detected via the input device. 
       FIG.  1    illustrates an electronic device  101  presenting an extended reality (XR) environment (e.g., a computer-generated environment) according to some examples of the disclosure. In some examples, electronic device  101  is a hand-held or mobile device, such as a tablet computer, laptop computer, smartphone, or head-mounted display. Examples of device  101  are described below with reference to the architecture block diagram of  FIG.  2   . As shown in  FIG.  1   , electronic device  101 , table  106 , and coffee mug  152  are located in the physical environment  100 . The physical environment may include physical features such as a physical surface (e.g., floor, walls) or a physical object (e.g., table, lamp, etc.). In some examples, electronic device  101  may be configured to capture images of physical environment  100  including table  106  and coffee mug  152  (illustrated in the field of view of electronic device  101 ). In some examples, in response to a trigger, the electronic device  101  may be configured to display a virtual object  114  (e.g., two-dimensional virtual content) in the computer-generated environment (e.g., represented by a rectangle illustrated in  FIG.  1   ) that is not present in the physical environment  100 , but is displayed in the computer-generated environment positioned on (e.g., anchored to) the top of a computer-generated representation  106 ′ of real-world table  106 . For example, virtual object  114  can be displayed on the surface of the computer-generated representation  106 ′ of the table in the computer-generated environment next to the computer-generated representation  152 ′ of real-world coffee mug  152  displayed via device  101  in response to detecting the planar surface of table  106  in the physical environment  100 . 
     It should be understood that virtual object  114  is a representative virtual object and one or more different virtual objects (e.g., of various dimensionality such as two-dimensional or three-dimensional virtual objects) can be included and rendered in a three-dimensional computer-generated environment. For example, the virtual object can represent an application or a user interface displayed in the computer-generated environment. In some examples, the virtual object can represent content corresponding to the application and/or displayed via the user interface in the computer-generated environment. In some examples, the virtual object  114  is optionally configured to be interactive and responsive to user input, such that a user may virtually touch, tap, move, rotate, or otherwise interact with, the virtual object. In some examples, the virtual object  114  may be displayed in a three-dimensional computer-generated environment within a multi-user communication session (“multi-user communication session,” “communication session”). In some such examples, as described in more detail below, the virtual object  114  may be viewable and/or configured to be interactive and responsive to multiple users and/or user input provided by multiple users, respectively, represented by virtual representations (e.g., avatars, such as avatar  115 ). For example, the virtual object  114  may be shared among multiple users in the communication session such that input directed to the virtual object  114  is optionally viewable by the multiple users. Additionally, it should be understood, that the 3D environment (or 3D virtual object) described herein may be a representation of a 3D environment (or three-dimensional virtual object) projected or presented at an electronic device. 
     In the discussion that follows, an electronic device that is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices is described. It should be understood that the electronic device optionally is in communication with one or more other physical user-interface devices, such as touch-sensitive surface, a physical keyboard, a mouse, a joystick, a hand tracking device, an eye tracking device, a stylus, etc. Further, as described above, it should be understood that the described electronic device, display and touch-sensitive surface are optionally distributed amongst two or more devices. Therefore, as used in this disclosure, information displayed on the electronic device or by the electronic device is optionally used to describe information outputted by the electronic device for display on a separate display device (touch-sensitive or not). Similarly, as used in this disclosure, input received on the electronic device (e.g., touch input received on a touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device, or touch input received on the surface of a stylus) is optionally used to describe input received on a separate input device, from which the electronic device receives input information. 
     The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disk authoring application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, a workout support application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, a television channel browsing application, and/or a digital video player application.

In some examples, memory  220 A,  220 B can include more than one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium can be any medium (e.g., excluding a signal) that can tangibly contain or store computer-executable instructions for use by or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. In some examples, the storage medium is a transitory computer-readable storage medium. In some examples, the storage medium is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium can include, but is not limited to, magnetic, optical, and/or semiconductor storages. Examples of such storage include magnetic disks, optical discs based on CD, DVD, or Blu-ray technologies, as well as persistent solid-state memory such as flash, solid-state drives, and the like. 
     In some examples, display generation component(s)  214 A,  214 B include a single display (e.g., a liquid-crystal display (LCD), organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or other types of display). In some examples, display generation component(s)  214 A,  214 B includes multiple displays. In some examples, display generation component(s)  214 A,  214 B can include a display with touch capability (e.g., a touch screen), a projector, a holographic projector, a retinal projector, etc. In some examples, devices  260  and  270  include touch-sensitive surface(s)  209 A and  209 B, respectively, for receiving user inputs, such as tap inputs and swipe inputs or other gestures. In some examples, display generation component(s)  214 A, 214 B and touch-sensitive surface(s)  209 A,  209 B form touch-sensitive display(s) (e.g., a touch screen integrated with devices  260  and  270 , respectively, or external to devices  260  and  270 , respectively, that is in communication with devices  260  and  270 ). 
     Devices  260  and  270  optionally includes image sensor(s)  206 A and  206 B, respectively. Image sensors(s)  206 A/ 206 B optionally include one or more visible light image sensors, such as charged coupled device (CCD) sensors, and/or complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) sensors operable to obtain images of physical objects from the real-world environment. Image sensor(s)  206 A/ 206 B also optionally include one or more infrared (IR) sensors, such as a passive or an active IR sensor, for detecting infrared light from the real-world environment. For example, an active IR sensor includes an IR emitter for emitting infrared light into the real-world environment. Image sensor(s)  206 A/ 206 B also optionally include one or more cameras configured to capture movement of physical objects in the real-world environment. Image sensor(s)  206 A/ 206 B also optionally include one or more depth sensors configured to detect the distance of physical objects from device  260 / 270 . In some examples, information from one or more depth sensors can allow the device to identify and differentiate objects in the real-world environment from other objects in the real-world environment. In some examples, one or more depth sensors can allow the device to determine the texture and/or topography of objects in the real-world environment. 
     In some examples, devices  260  and  270  use CCD sensors, event cameras, and depth sensors in combination to detect the physical environment around devices  260  and  270 . In some examples, image sensor(s)  206 A/ 206 B include a first image sensor and a second image sensor. The first image sensor and the second image sensor work in tandem and are optionally configured to capture different information of physical objects in the real-world environment. In some examples, the first image sensor is a visible light image sensor and the second image sensor is a depth sensor. In some examples, device  260 / 270  uses image sensor(s)  206 A/ 206 B to detect the position and orientation of device  260 / 270  and/or display generation component(s)  214 A/ 214 B in the real-world environment. For example, device  260 / 270  uses image sensor(s)  206 A/ 206 B to track the position and orientation of display generation component(s)  214 A/ 214 B relative to one or more fixed objects in the real-world environment. 
     In some examples, device  260 / 270  includes microphone(s)  213 A/ 213 B or other audio sensors. Device  260 / 270  uses microphone(s)  213 A/ 213 B to detect sound from the user and/or the real-world environment of the user. In some examples, microphone(s)  213 A/ 213 B includes an array of microphones (a plurality of microphones) that optionally operate in tandem, such as to identify ambient noise or to locate the source of sound in space of the real-world environment. 
     Device  260 / 270  includes location sensor(s)  204 A/ 204 B for detecting a location of device  260 / 270  and/or display generation component(s)  214 A/ 214 B. For example, location sensor(s)  204 A/ 204 B can include a GPS receiver that receives data from one or more satellites and allows device  260 / 270  to determine the device&#39;s absolute position in the physical world. 
     Device  260 / 270  includes orientation sensor(s)  210 A/ 210 B for detecting orientation and/or movement of device  260 / 270  and/or display generation component(s)  214 A/ 214 B. For example, device  260 / 270  uses orientation sensor(s)  210 A/ 210 B to track changes in the position and/or orientation of device  260 / 270  and/or display generation component(s)  214 A/ 214 B, such as with respect to physical objects in the real-world environment. Orientation sensor(s)  210 A/ 210 B optionally include one or more gyroscopes and/or one or more accelerometers. 
     Device  260 / 270  includes hand tracking sensor(s)  202 A/ 202 B and/or eye tracking sensor(s)  212 A/ 212 B, in some examples. Hand tracking sensor(s)  202 A/ 202 B are configured to track the position/location of one or more portions of the user&#39;s hands, and/or motions of one or more portions of the user&#39;s hands with respect to the extended reality environment, relative to the display generation component(s)  214 A/ 214 B, and/or relative to another defined coordinate system. Eye tracking sensor(s)  212 A/ 212 B are configured to track the position and movement of a user&#39;s gaze (eyes, face, or head, more generally) with respect to the real-world or extended reality environment and/or relative to the display generation component(s)  214 A/ 214 B. In some examples, hand tracking sensor(s)  202 A/ 202 B and/or eye tracking sensor(s)  212 A/ 212 B are implemented together with the display generation component(s)  214 A/ 214 B. In some examples, the hand tracking sensor(s)  202 A/ 202 B and/or eye tracking sensor(s)  212 A/ 212 B are implemented separate from the display generation component(s)  214 A/ 214 B. 
     In some examples, the hand tracking sensor(s)  202 A/ 202 B can use image sensor(s)  206 A/ 206 B (e.g., one or more IR cameras, 3D cameras, depth cameras, etc.) that capture three-dimensional information from the real-world including one or more hands (e.g., of a human user). In some examples, the hands can be resolved with sufficient resolution to distinguish fingers and their respective positions. In some examples, one or more image sensor(s)  206 A/ 206 B are positioned relative to the user to define a field of view of the image sensor(s)  206 A/ 206 B and an interaction space in which finger/hand position, orientation and/or movement captured by the image sensors are used as inputs (e.g., to distinguish from a user&#39;s resting hand or other hands of other persons in the real-world environment). Tracking the fingers/hands for input (e.g., gestures, touch, tap, etc.) can be advantageous in that it does not require the user to touch, hold or wear any sort of beacon, sensor, or other marker. 
     In some examples, eye tracking sensor(s)  212 A/ 212 B includes at least one eye tracking camera (e.g., infrared (IR) cameras) and/or illumination sources (e.g., IR light sources, such as LEDs) that emit light towards a user&#39;s eyes. The eye tracking cameras may be pointed towards a user&#39;s eyes to receive reflected IR light from the light sources directly or indirectly from the eyes. In some examples, both eyes are tracked separately by respective eye tracking cameras and illumination sources, and a focus/gaze can be determined from tracking both eyes. In some examples, one eye (e.g., a dominant eye) is tracked by a respective eye tracking camera/illumination source(s). 
     Device  260 / 270  and system  201  are not limited to the components and configuration of  FIG.  2   , but can include fewer, other, or additional components in multiple configurations. In some examples, system  201  can be implemented in a single device. A person or persons using system  201 , is optionally referred to herein as a user or users of the device(s). 
     Attention is now directed towards exemplary concurrent displays of a three-dimensional environment on a first electronic device (e.g., corresponding to device  260 ) and a second electronic device (e.g., corresponding to device  270 ). As discussed below, the first electronic device may be in communication with the second electronic device in a multi-user communication session. In some examples, an avatar of (e.g., a virtual representation of) a user of the first electronic device may be displayed in the three-dimensional environment at the second electronic device, and an avatar of a user of the second electronic device may be displayed in the three-dimensional environment at the first electronic device. In some examples, content may be shared and interactive within the three-dimensional environment while the first electronic device and the second electronic device are in the multi-user communication session. 
       FIGS.  3 A- 3 G  illustrate example interactions involving application-based spatial refinement in a multi-user communication session according to some examples of the disclosure. In some examples, a first electronic device  360  may present a three-dimensional environment  350 A, and a second electronic device  370  may present a three-dimensional environment  350 B. The first electronic device  360  and the second electronic device  370  may be similar to device  101  or  260 / 270 , and/or may be a head mountable system/device and/or projection-based system/device (including a hologram-based system/device) configured to generate and present a three-dimensional environment, such as, for example, heads-up displays (HUDs), head mounted displays (HMDs), windows having integrated display capability, or displays formed as lenses designed to be placed on a person&#39;s eyes (e.g., similar to contact lenses), respectively. In the example of  FIGS.  3 A- 3 G , a first user is optionally wearing the first electronic device  360  and a second user is optionally wearing the second electronic device  370 , such that the three-dimensional environments  350 A/ 350 B can be defined by X, Y and Z axes as viewed from a perspective of the electronic devices (e.g., a viewpoint associated with the users of the electronic devices  360 / 370 ). 
     As shown in  FIG.  3 A , the first electronic device  360  may be in a first physical environment that includes a table  306  and a window  309 . Thus, the three-dimensional environment  350 A presented using the first electronic device  360  optionally includes captured portions of the physical environment surrounding the first electronic device  360 , such as a representation of the table  306 ′ and a representation of the window  309 ′. Similarly, the second electronic device  370  may be in a second physical environment, different from the first physical environment (e.g., separate from the first physical environment), that includes a floor lamp  307  and a coffee table  308 . Thus, the three-dimensional environment  350 B presented using the second electronic device  370  optionally includes captured portions of the physical environment surrounding the second electronic device  370 , such as a representation of the floor lamp  307 ′ and a representation of the coffee table  308 ′. Additionally, the three-dimensional environments  350 A and  350 B may include representations of the floor, ceiling, and walls of the room in which the first electronic device  360  and the second electronic device  370  are located, respectively. 
     As mentioned above, in some examples, the first electronic device  360  may enter a multi-user communication session with the second electronic device  370 . For example, in the multi-user communication session, the first electronic device  360  and the second electronic device  370  (e.g., via communication circuitry  222 A/ 222 B of  FIG.  2   ) are configured to present a shared three-dimensional environment that includes one or more shared virtual objects (e.g., shared content, such as images, video, audio and the like, representations of user interfaces of applications, three-dimensional models, etc.). As used herein, the term “shared three-dimensional environment” refers to a three-dimensional environment that is independently presented, displayed, and/or visible at two or more electronic devices via which content, applications, data, and the like may be shared and/or presented to users of the two or more electronic devices. 
     In some examples, while two or more electronic devices are communicatively linked in a multi-user communication session, avatars corresponding to the users of the two or more electronic devices are optionally displayed within the shared three-dimensional environments presented at the two or more electronic devices. As shown in  FIG.  3 A , the first electronic device  360  optionally displays an avatar  315  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  370  within the three-dimensional environment  350 A. Similarly, the second electronic device  370  optionally displays an avatar  317  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  360  within the three-dimensional environment  350 B. 
     In some examples, the avatars  315 / 317  are a representation (e.g., a full-body rendering) of each of the users of the electronic devices  370 / 360 . In some examples, the avatars  315 / 317  are each a representation of a portion (e.g., a rendering of a head, face, head and torso, etc.) of the users of the electronic devices  370 / 360 . In some examples, the avatars  315 / 317  are a user-personalized, user-selected, and/or user-created representation displayed in the three-dimensional environments  350 A/ 350 B that is representative of the users of the electronic devices  370 / 360 . It should be understood that, while the avatars  315 / 317  illustrated in  FIG.  3 A  correspond to simplified representations of a full body of each of the users of the electronic devices  370 / 360 , respectively, alternative avatars may be provided, such as any of those described above. 
     In some examples, the presentation of avatars  315 / 317  as part of the shared three-dimensional environment is optionally accompanied by an audio effect corresponding to a voice of the users of the electronic devices  370 / 360 . For example, the avatar  315  displayed in the three-dimensional environment  350 A using the first electronic device  360  is optionally accompanied by an audio effect corresponding to the voice of the user of the second electronic device  370 . In some such examples, when the user of the second electronic device  370  speaks, the voice of the user may be detected by the second electronic device  370  (e.g., via the microphone(s)  213 B in  FIG.  2   ) and transmitted to the first electronic device  360  (e.g., via the communication circuitry  222 B/ 222 A), such that the detected voice of the user of the second electronic device  370  may be presented as audio (e.g., using speaker(s)  216 A) to the user of the first electronic device  360  in three-dimensional environment  350 A in real-time. Similarly, the avatar  317  displayed in the three-dimensional environment  350 B using the second electronic device  370  is optionally accompanied by an audio effect corresponding to the voice of the user of the first electronic device  360 . In some such examples, when the user of the first electronic device  360  speaks, the voice of the user may be detected by the first electronic device  360  (e.g., via the microphone(s)  213 A) and transmitted to the second electronic device  370  (e.g., via the communication circuitry  222 A/ 222 B), such that the detected voice of the user of the first electronic device  360  may be presented as audio (e.g., using speaker(s)  216 B) to the user of the second electronic device  370  in three-dimensional environment  350 B in real-time. 
     In some examples, while in the multi-user communication session, the avatars  315 / 317  are displayed in the three-dimensional environments  350 A/ 350 B with respective orientations that (e.g., initially, such as prior to spatial refinement, as discussed in more detail below) correspond to and/or are based on orientations of the electronic devices  360 / 370  in the physical environments surrounding the electronic devices  360 / 370 . For example, as shown in  FIG.  3 A , in the three-dimensional environment  350 A, the avatar  315  is optionally facing toward a viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360 , and in the three-dimensional environment  350 B, the avatar  317  is optionally facing toward a viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  370 . As a particular user moves the electronic device in the physical environment, the viewpoint of the user changes in accordance with the movement, which may thus also change an orientation of the user&#39;s avatar in the three-dimensional environment. For example, with reference to  FIG.  3 A , if the user of the first electronic device  360  were to look leftward in the three-dimensional environment  350 A such that the first electronic device  360  is rotated (e.g., a corresponding amount) to the left (e.g., counterclockwise), the user of the second electronic device  370  would see the avatar  317  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  360  rotate to the right (e.g., clockwise) in accordance with the movement of the first electronic device  360 . 
     Additionally, in some examples, while in the multi-user communication session, a viewpoint of the three-dimensional environments  350 A/ 350 B and/or a location of the viewpoint of the three-dimensional environments  350 A/ 350 B optionally changes in accordance with movement of the electronic devices  360 / 370  (e.g., by the users of the electronic devices  360 / 370 ). For example, while in the communication session, if the first electronic device  360  is moved closer toward the representation of the table  306 ′ and/or the avatar  315  (e.g., because the user of the first electronic device  360  moved forward in the physical environment surrounding the first electronic device  360 ), the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360  would change accordingly, such that the representation of the table  306 ′, the representation of the window  309 ′ and the avatar  315  appear larger in the field of view of three-dimensional environment  350 A. 
     As mentioned above, while in the multi-user communication session, content can be shared between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, such that the content can be interacted with (e.g., viewed, moved, modified, etc.) by the users of the first electronic device and the second electronic device. In some examples, shared content can be moved within the shared three-dimensional environments presented by the first electronic device and the second electronic device by directly or indirectly interacting with the shared content. In some such examples, however, moving the shared content closer to the viewpoint of one user optionally moves the shared content farther from the viewpoint of the other user in the multi-communication session. Accordingly, it may be advantageous to provide a method for spatial refinement (e.g., movement and/or repositioning of avatars and/or shared objects) in shared three-dimensional environments while multiple devices are in a multi-communication session, which would allow content to be moved at one electronic device without moving the content at the other electronic device. As used herein, performing spatial refinement in the shared three-dimensional environment includes moving a shared object that is selected for movement (e.g., in response to input directed to the shared object) and moving other shared objects and/or avatars corresponding to other users in the multi-user communication session in accordance with the movement of the shared object. 
     In some examples, the three-dimensional environments shared between the first electronic device  360  and the second electronic device  370  may include one or more shared virtual objects. For example, as shown in  FIG.  3 A , the first electronic device  360  and the second electronic device  370  may each display a virtual tray  314  containing a virtual mug  352 , which may be shared between the electronic devices  360 / 370 . As shown, the shared virtual objects may be displayed with a grabber bar  335  (also referred to as a handlebar affordance) which is optionally selectable to initiate movement of the shared virtual objects (e.g., the virtual tray  314  and the virtual mug  352 ) within the three-dimensional environments  350 A/ 350 B. In some examples, the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  may be associated with an application running on the electronic devices  360 / 370 . As shown in  FIG.  3 A , in some examples, the shared virtual objects may be positioned closer to the viewpoint of one user than another user in the three-dimensional environments  350 A/ 350 B (e.g., when the shared virtual objects are initially displayed in the three-dimensional environments  350 A/ 350 B). For example, in  FIG.  3 A , at the second electronic device  370 , the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  are displayed in three-dimensional environment  350 B at a first location that is optionally a first distance (e.g., “close to”, or within a threshold distance, such as 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, 1, 1.2, etc. m) from the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  370 . Because objects in the three-dimensional environments  350 A/ 350 B maintain spatial truth (e.g., maintain consistent relative positioning within the three-dimensional environments  350 A/ 350 B) while the first electronic device  360  and the second electronic device  370  are in the multi-user communication session, the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  are optionally displayed at the first electronic device  360  at a second location, different from the first location, in three-dimensional environment  350 A that is a second distance (e.g., “far from”, or at more than a threshold distance,” such as greater than 1, 1.4, 1.5, 2, etc. m) from the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360 . 
     Additionally, in some examples, the position of the avatars  315  and  317  within the three-dimensional environments  350 A/ 350 B may reflect/be indicative of the relative distances between the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  and the viewpoints of the users of the electronic devices  360 / 370 . For example, as shown in  FIG.  3 A , because the shared virtual objects  352  and  314  are located the first distance from the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  370  in three-dimensional environment  350 B, at the first electronic device  360 , the shared virtual objects  352  and  314  are displayed the first distance from the avatar  315  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  370  in three-dimensional environment  350 A. Similarly, as shown, because the shared virtual objects  352  and  314  are located the second distance from the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360  in three-dimensional environment  350 A, at the second electronic device  370 , the shared virtual objects  352  and  314  are displayed the second distance from the avatar  317  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  360  in three-dimensional environment  350 B. 
     In some examples, because the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  are positioned far from the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360 , the user of the first electronic device  360  may desire to move the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  closer to the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360 . Accordingly, in some examples, it may be advantageous to allow the users of the first electronic device and/or the second electronic device to spatially refine the virtual objects shared between the first electronic device and the second electronic device without moving the virtual objects to undesirable locations within the three-dimensional environments, as showcased above. Example interactions involving spatial refinement of the shared three-dimensional environment (including the shared virtual objects  314  and  352 ) in the multi-user communication session are discussed below. 
     As shown in  FIG.  3 B , the user of the first electronic device  360  may provide a selection input  372 A directed to the grabber or handlebar affordance  335  (and/or the shared virtual objects  314 / 352 ). For example, the user of the first electronic device  360  provides a pinch gesture (e.g., in which an index finger and thumb of the hand of the user come together and make contact), a two-handed double pinch gesture (e.g., one in which the index finger and thumb of the hand come into contact, separate, and come into contact a second time), a two-handed pinch and hold gesture (e.g., one in which the index finger and thumb of the hand come into contact and remain in contact for a threshold amount of time, such as 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, etc. seconds), a selection of a spatial refinement affordance (not shown) displayed in a predetermined area of the three-dimensional environment  350 A (e.g., such as at or near a top of the field of view of the three-dimensional environment  350 A), or a verbal command directly to and/or while a gaze of the user is directed to the grabber or handlebar affordance  335  or a portion of the shared virtual objects  314 / 352 . As shown, the selection input  372 A provided by one or more fingers of a hand of the user may be followed by a drag/movement input  374 A toward the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360 . For example, while the selection input is maintained (e.g., while a hand of the user continues the pinch gesture), the user of the first electronic device  360  moves the hand closer to a portion of the body (e.g., the chest/torso) of the user. In some examples, the selection input  372 A, followed by the movement input  374   a , may alternatively be provided directly to the virtual tray  314  or the virtual mug  352  in three-dimensional environment  350 A. 
     In some examples, in response to receiving the selection input  372 A followed by the movement input  374 A, the first electronic device  360  performs spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment  350 A. For example, as described below, the first electronic device  360  moves the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  and the avatar  315  in the three-dimensional environment  350 A in accordance with the movement input  374 A, rather than just moving the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  in the three-dimensional environment  350 A. In some examples, performing spatial refinement enables shared content to be moved within the three-dimensional environment  350 A (e.g., closer to the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360 ), without potentially moving the shared content farther from the user of the second electronic device  370  or to an undesirable location for the user of the second electronic device  370  in the three-dimensional environment  350 B. 
     Additionally, in some examples, in response to receiving the selection input  372 A and/or the movement input  374 A, the first electronic device  360  optionally displays a planar element (e.g., a disc or disc-shaped element)  337  below the shared objects in the three-dimensional environment  350 A (and optionally representations of private content and/or applications of other users). For example, as shown in  FIG.  3 B , the disc  337  may be displayed below the avatar  315  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  370  and the shared virtual objects, such as the virtual tray  314  and the virtual mug  352 . In some examples, a center of the disc  337  may be positioned at the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360 , and an edge of the disc  337  extends into the three-dimensional environment  350 A to include all objects selected for spatial refinement. Accordingly, the disc  337  may serve as a reference point for subsequent movement of the objects selected for spatial refinement at the first electronic device  360 , namely the avatar  315  and the shared virtual objects  314  and  352 . For example, the disc  337  extends within three-dimensional environment  350 A to contain (e.g., be displayed below) all objects that are selected for spatial refinement. It should be understood that, while a disc is illustrated in  FIG.  3 B  and described herein, in some examples, an alternative user interface element may be displayed below the avatar  315  and the shared objects in three-dimensional environment  350 A, such as a rectangular, square-shaped, triangular, octagonal, etc. stage or platter. As discussed in more detail below, the first electronic device may move the disc  337  in the three-dimensional environment  350 A as the objects selected for refinement move in the three-dimensional environment  350 A. 
     In some examples, the movement input directed to shared objects in the shared three-dimensional environment causes the electronic device to perform spatial refinement in the shared three-dimensional environment (including the shared objects) based on a type of the object and/or a direction of the movement input in the shared three-dimensional environment. In some examples, the electronic device performs spatial refinement in the shared three-dimensional environment in response to user input directed to the shared object in accordance with a determination that the shared object is an object of a first type. In some examples, the object type is determined based on an orientation of the shared object in the shared three-dimensional environment. For example, an object of the first type is a shared object that has a horizontal orientation in the shared three-dimensional environment relative to the viewpoint of the user of the electronic device. As shown in  FIG.  3 B , the selection input  372 A and the movement input  374 A are directed to the shared virtual object  314 , which, as previously discussed above, is optionally a virtual tray. As shown in  FIG.  3 B , the shared object  314  has a horizontal orientation in the three-dimensional environment  350 A relative to the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360 . Accordingly, as discussed above, the first electronic device  360  may spatially refine the three-dimensional environment  350 A (including the shared virtual objects  314  and  352 ) because the shared virtual object  314  has a horizontal orientation in the three-dimensional environment  350 A and is thus an object of the first type. It should be understood that, because the shared object  352  is disposed atop the surface of the shared virtual object  314 , the first electronic device  360  also spatially refines the shared object  352  based on the orientation of the shared virtual object  314  in the three-dimensional environment  350 A. 
     As mentioned above, in some examples, movement input directed to a shared object that is an object of the first type causes the shared object and the avatar  315  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  370  to move in the three-dimensional environment  350 A in accordance with the movement input. For example, as shown in  FIG.  3 C , moving the grabber bar  335  may cause the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  and the avatar  515  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  370  to move in the three-dimensional environment  350 A in the direction of the movement input  374 A. As shown, as the user of the first electronic device  360  moves the grabber bar  335  which is associated with the shared virtual object  314  that is an object of the first type in the three-dimensional environment  350 A, the first electronic device  360  moves the avatar  315  with the virtual tray  314  and the virtual mug  352  in the three-dimensional environment  350 A. Additionally, the first electronic device  360  moves the disc  337  displayed below the avatar  315  and the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  in accordance with the movement of the shared virtual objects  314  and  352 . As shown in  FIG.  3 C , the first electronic device  360  optionally moves the avatar  315  and the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  toward the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360  in accordance with the movement input  374 A. In some examples, the selection input  372 A (e.g., the pinch gesture) is maintained as the objects are moved within three-dimensional environment  350 A in  FIG.  3 C . 
     In some examples, when the first electronic device  360  spatially refines the shared three-dimensional environment (including the shared virtual objects  314  and  352 ) in response to receiving input (e.g., selection input  372 A in  FIG.  3 B ) directed to the shared virtual object  314  that is an object of the first type (e.g., a horizontally oriented object in the three-dimensional environment  350 A), the first electronic device  360  transmits an indication of the spatial refinement to the second electronic device  370  (e.g., and/or to a server in communication with the first electronic device  360  and the second electronic device  370 ) with which the first electronic device  360  is in the multi-user communication session. For example, the first electronic device  360  transmits, to the second electronic device  370 , data indicating that the first electronic device  360  has received input corresponding to a request to move the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  within the three-dimensional environment  350 A presented at the first electronic device  360 . In some examples, as previously discussed above, spatial refinement at the first electronic device  360  causes the avatar  315  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  370  and the shared virtual objects  314  to move within the three-dimensional environment  350 A in accordance with the movement input  374 A in  FIG.  3 C . As shown in  FIG.  3 C , the second electronic device  370  may not move the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  in the three-dimensional environment  350 B despite the movement of the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  in the three-dimensional environment  350 A presented at the first electronic device  360 . Rather, as shown in  FIG.  3 C , in response to receiving the indication from the first electronic device  360 , the second electronic device  370  moves the avatar  317  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  360  in the three-dimensional environment  350 B in accordance with the movement input  374 A received at the first electronic device  360 . For example, when the three-dimensional environment  350 A (including the shared virtual objects  314  and  352 ) is spatially refined, the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  and the avatar  315  are moved to a location in three-dimensional environment  350 A that is a respective distance (e.g., 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, 1, 1.2, etc. m) from the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360 , which causes the avatar  317  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  360  to be moved toward the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  370  in three-dimensional environment  350 B to a location that is the respective distance away from the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  370 . In some examples, the amount (e.g., in distance) of the movement of the avatar  317  in the three-dimensional environment  350 B is proportional to the amount of the movement of the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  and the avatar  315  in the three-dimensional environment  350 A. 
     Additionally or alternatively, in some examples, rather than moving the shared virtual object  314 , which is an object of the first type as discussed above, to spatially refine the three-dimensional environment  350 A (including the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  in the three-dimensional environment  350 A), an avatar corresponding to the other user can be moved to produce a same or similar spatial refinement as discussed above. For example, rather than providing input directed to the grabber bar  335  and/or the shared virtual object  314 , the user of the first electronic device  360  may provide a selection input (e.g., similar to that discussed above) directed to the avatar  315  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  370 . Subsequently, the user of the first electronic device  360  may provide a drag/movement input (e.g., similar to that discussed above) toward the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360 , as similarly shown in  FIG.  3 C . However, providing a selection/movement input directed to the avatar  315  in three-dimensional environment  350 A may result in an appearance of a physical interaction between the users of the first and second electronic devices, which may be interpreted as potentially intrusive, socially-unaccepted and/or otherwise offensive gestures performed by the avatar  317  from the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  370  (e.g., such as display of a hand of the avatar  317  within the personal space of and/or directly contacting the user of the second electronic device  370 ). Accordingly, it may be advantageous to alter an appearance of the avatar  317  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  360 , such as by fading, obscuring, or ceasing display of a portion of the avatar, such as the hands, arms, and/or torso of the avatar, or to cease animation of the avatar, such that the inputs provided by the user (e.g., pinch and drag gestures) are not also performed by the avatar  317  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  360 . Thus, providing the method described above with reference to  FIGS.  3 A- 3 C  may be preferable to initiating spatial refinement by selecting an avatar corresponding to a user of another electronic device in a multi-user communication session to avoid having to display additional user interface elements and/or modify users&#39; avatars. 
     As shown in  FIG.  3 D , the user of the first electronic device  360  is optionally no longer providing the selection input  372 A and the movement input  374 A directed to the grabber bar  335  and/or the shared virtual object  314  in three-dimensional environment  350 A (e.g., such that a deselection input is received). In some examples, in response to detecting an end of the movement input directed to the shared virtual object  314 , the first electronic device  360  displays the avatar  315  and the shared virtual objects  352  and  314  at a new location in three-dimensional environment  350 A that is determined based on the end of the movement input. Similarly, in some examples, the second electronic device  370  displays the avatar  317  at a new location in three-dimensional environment  350 B that is determined based on the end of the movement input detected at the first electronic device  360 . As shown in  FIG.  3 D , in response to detecting the end of the movement input, the first electronic device  360  may cease displaying the planar element  337  of  FIGS.  3 B- 3 C  (e.g., because the user of the first electronic device  360  is no longer providing input for spatially refining the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  within the three-dimensional environment  350 A). 
     As outlined above and as shown in  FIG.  3 D , by providing movement input directed to an object of the first type, such as the horizontally-oriented virtual tray  314  at the first electronic device  360 , the three-dimensional environment  350 A (including the avatar  315  and the shared virtual objects  314  and  352 ) may be spatially refined, which enables the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  to be positioned at favorable locations within the three-dimensional environments  350 A and  350 B at both electronic devices  360  and  370 . Thus, one advantage of the disclosed method for spatial refinement in a multi-user communication session is that shared objects and avatars corresponding to users of electronic devices may be positioned at favorable locations for the users of the electronic devices to easily interact with the shared objects in the multi-user communication session. An additional advantage of the disclosed method is that the spatial refinement of shared objects and avatars is intuitive from the perspective of the user providing the spatial refinement input, and the resultant spatial refinement is intuitive from the perspectives of other users because rather than displaying movement of the shared objects, the electronic devices display movement of the avatar corresponding to the user providing the spatial refinement input while the shared content remains stationary. Attention is now directed to further example interactions involving application-based spatial refinement in a multi-user communication session between multiple electronic devices. 
     In some examples, the shared virtual objects  314 / 352  may alternatively be translated laterally within three-dimensional environment  350 A. Additionally, in some examples, the three-dimensional environment  350 A may include one or more virtual objects that are not shared with the second electronic device  370  (e.g., private application windows) in the multi-user communication session. As shown in  FIG.  3 E , the three-dimensional environment  350 A may include a private application window  324 , which may be an unshared application window corresponding to a respective application (e.g., Application A) running on the first electronic device  360 . Because the private application window  324  is unshared, the second electronic device  370  optionally displays a representation of the private application window  324 ″ in three-dimensional environment  350 B. In some examples, the representation of the private application window  324 ″ may be a faded, occluded, discolored, and/or translucent representation of the private application window  324 . For example, because the private application window  324  is unshared with the user of the second electronic device  370 , the user of the second electronic device  370  is prevented from viewing contents of the private application window  324  (e.g., from the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  370 ). In some examples, a location at which the representation of the private application window  324 ″ is displayed in the three-dimensional environment  350 B at the second electronic device  370  is based on a location at which the private application window  324  is displayed in the three-dimensional environment  350 A at the first electronic device  360 . For example, at the first electronic device  360 , the private application window  324  may be a first distance from the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360 . Accordingly, at the second electronic device  370 , the representation of the private application window  324 ″ may be the first distance (e.g., or a second distance proportional to the first distance) from the avatar  317  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  360 , as shown in  FIG.  3 E . 
     As shown in  FIG.  3 E , in some examples, the user of the first electronic device  360  may provide a selection input  372 B directed to the grabber bar  335  (and/or the shared virtual object  314 ) in the three-dimensional environment  350 A, followed by a movement input  374 B. For example, the user of the first electronic device  360  may provide a pinch gesture (e.g., using a hand of the user) while the gaze of the user is directed toward the grabber bar  335  (and/or the shared virtual object  314 ), followed by movement of the hand of the user while maintaining the pinch gesture, as similarly described above. In some examples, the selection input  372 B corresponds to the selection input  372 A described above with reference to  FIG.  3 B . As shown in  FIG.  3 E , the movement input  374 B optionally corresponds to movement of the shared virtual object  314  rightward in three-dimensional environment  350 A from the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360 . 
     In some examples, in response to receiving the selection input  372 B directed to the grabber bar  335 , which is associated with the shared virtual object  314 , the electronic device initiates spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment  350 A. For example, because the shared virtual object  314  is an object of the first type (e.g., a horizontally oriented object), as previously described above, movement input directed to the shared virtual object  314  causes the shared virtual objects and the avatar  315  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  370  to move within the three-dimensional environment  350 A. Additionally, as similarly described above, in some examples, in response to receiving the selection input  372 B and/or the movement input  374 B, the first electronic device  360  optionally displays the planar element (e.g., disc)  337  below the objects selected for spatial refinement in three-dimensional environment  350 A. For example, as shown in  FIG.  3 E , the disc  337  is displayed below the avatar  315  and the shared objects  314  and  352  in three-dimensional environment  350 A. As shown, because the private application window  324  is private to the user of the first electronic device  360  (e.g., is not a shared virtual object), the private application window  324  is optionally not selected for spatial refinement and thus the disc  337  is not displayed below the private application window  324  in three-dimensional environment  350 A. 
     In some examples, as shown in  FIG.  3 F , in response to receiving the movement input  374 B directed to the grabber bar  335  (and/or the shared virtual object  314 ), the first electronic device  360  moves the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  and the avatar  315  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  370  in three-dimensional environment  350 A in accordance with the movement input  374 B. For example, the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  and the avatar  315  may be moved rightward in the three-dimensional environment  350 A relative to the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360 . Additionally, as shown, the disc  337  may move (e.g., rightward) in three-dimensional environment  350 A as the avatar  315  and the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  move in accordance with the movement input  374 B. As mentioned above, the private application window  324  is not selected for spatial refinement because the private application window  324  is an unshared object in three-dimensional environment  350 A. Accordingly, when the avatar  315  and the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  are moved in the three-dimensional environment  350 A in accordance with the movement input  374 B, the first electronic device  360  optionally forgoes moving the private application window  324  in the three-dimensional environment  350 A, as shown in  FIG.  3 F . 
     As described above with reference to  FIG.  3 C , in some examples, when the first electronic device  360  spatially refines the three-dimensional environment  350 A including the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  (e.g., moves the avatar  315  and the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  in three-dimensional environment  350 A in accordance with the movement input  374 B), the second electronic device  370  may move the avatar  317  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  360  in three-dimensional environment  350 B at the second electronic device  370 , accordingly. For example, as shown in  FIG.  3 F , the second electronic device  370  moves the avatar  317  rightward in the three-dimensional environment  350 A relative to the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  370  based on the movement input  374 B detected at the first electronic device  360  (e.g., in response to receiving an indication of the movement input  374 B was detected at the first electronic device  360 ). Additionally, in some examples, in response to detecting the movement input  374 B at the first electronic device  360 , the second electronic device  370  the representation of the private application window  324 ″ with the avatar  317  in three-dimensional environment  350 B. For example, as shown in  FIG.  3 F , when the second electronic device  370  moves the avatar  317  rightward in the three-dimensional environment  350 B, the second electronic device  370  also moves the representation of the private application window  324 ″ rightward in three-dimensional environment  350 B to reflect the distance between the user of the first electronic device  360  and the private application window  324  at the first electronic device  360 . 
     In some examples, in response to detecting an end of the movement input  374 B and/or an end of the selection input  372 B (e.g., a deselection input, such as release of the pinch gesture of the hand of the user), the first electronic device  360  optionally ceases moving the avatar  315  and the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  in three-dimensional environment  350 A, as shown in  FIG.  3 G . Additionally, as shown in  FIG.  3 G , the first electronic device  360  ceases display of the planar element  337  in the three-dimensional environment  350 A (e.g., because the first electronic device  360  is no longer spatially refining the shared virtual objects  314  and  352  in the three-dimensional environment  350 A). In some examples, in response to detecting the end of the movement input  374 B and/or the end of the selection input  372 B at the first electronic device  360 , the second electronic device  370  ceases moving the avatar  317  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  360  and the representation of the private application window  324 ″ in three-dimensional environment  350 B. For example, as shown in  FIG.  3 G , the second electronic device  370  moves (or has moved) the avatar  317  and the representation of the private application window  324 ″ rightward in the three-dimensional environment  350 B from the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  370  to a location that is based on the location of the avatar  315  in three-dimensional environment  350 A. For example, because the spatial refinement by the user of the first electronic device  360  caused the avatar  315  to move rightward in the three-dimensional environment  350 A (e.g., by a first amount), the avatar  317  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  360  (e.g., and the representation of the private application window  524 ″, which is private to the user of the first electronic device  360 ) is optionally moved to the right in three-dimensional environment  350 B (e.g., by a second amount, based on (e.g., proportional or equal to) the first amount) in accordance with the movement of the avatar  315 . 
     It should be understood that, while forward and lateral movement of the avatars  315 / 317  and the shared virtual objects  514  and  552  are illustrated and described herein, additional or alternative movements may be provided based on the movement of the hand of the user. For example, the electronic device may move an avatar and shared virtual objects forward and laterally in the three-dimensional environment in accordance with forward and lateral movement of the hand of the user. Additionally, it should be understood that, in some examples, additional or alternative options may be provided for initiating spatial refinement at an electronic device. For example, the user of the electronic device may select a spatial refinement affordance displayed in the three-dimensional environment that allows the user to individually select the objects and/or avatars the user desires to move in the three-dimensional environment. Additionally, in some examples, the electronic device may display a list of options, including an option to initiate spatial refinement, upon selection of an object (e.g., an avatar or a shared object). 
     Additionally, it should be understood that, while the spatial refinements illustrated in  FIGS.  3 A- 3 G  include translational movements, in some examples, the spatial refinements may include a translation, a rotation, and/or both a translation and a rotation. In some such examples, the rotational movement may be performed relative to any desired reference point, such as a reference point at the viewpoint of the user, a reference point at a location of a shared object in the three-dimensional environment, a reference point at a location of an avatar of a user in the three-dimensional environment, and/or a reference point at a location selected by the user (e.g., based on the gaze of the user and/or in response to receiving a two-handed pinch and rotation gesture). 
     As outlined above with reference to  FIGS.  3 A- 3 G , interaction input (e.g., selection inputs and/or movement inputs) directed to a shared virtual object in a shared three-dimensional environment may cause the electronic device to perform spatial refinement on the shared three-dimensional environment (including the virtual object) depending on a type of the shared virtual object. For example, as discussed above, interaction input directed to a shared virtual object of the first type (e.g., a horizontally oriented object) causes the electronic device to perform spatial refinement, optionally irrespective of the manner of the interaction input directed to the shared virtual object. As described with reference to  FIGS.  3 A- 3 G , the first electronic device  360  performs spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment  350 A irrespective of whether the movement input was a forward/backward movement (e.g., relative to the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360 ), as shown in  FIG.  3 C , or a lateral movement, as shown in  FIG.  3 F . Attention is now directed to example interactions with a shared virtual object that is an object of a second type, different from the first type discussed above, for which spatial refinement is performed based on the manner of the interaction input directed to the shared virtual object. 
       FIGS.  4 A- 4 J  illustrate example interactions involving application-based spatial refinement in a multi-user communication session according to some examples of the disclosure. In some examples, while a first electronic device  460  is in a multi-user communication session with a second electronic device  470 , a three-dimensional environment  450 A may be presented using first electronic device  460  and a three-dimensional environment  450 B may be presented using second electronic device  470 . In some examples, the electronic devices  460 / 470  optionally correspond to electronic devices  360 / 370  discussed above. In some examples, the three-dimensional environments  450 A/ 450 B include captured portions of the physical environments in which electronic devices  460 / 470  are located. For example, the three-dimensional environment  450 A optionally includes a table (e.g., a representation of table  406 ′) and a window (e.g., representation of window  409 ′), and the three-dimensional environment  450 B optionally includes a coffee table (e.g., representation of coffee table  408 ′) and a floor lamp (e.g., representation of floor lamp  407 ′). In some examples, the three-dimensional environments  450 A/ 450 B optionally correspond to three-dimensional environments  350 A/ 350 B described above. As similarly described above, the three-dimensional environments also include avatars  415 / 417  corresponding to users of the electronic devices  470 / 460 . In some examples, the avatars  415 / 417  optionally correspond to avatars  315 / 317  described above. 
     As similarly discussed above, in some examples, the three-dimensional environments  450 A/ 450 B may include one or more virtual objects that are shared between the first electronic device  460  and the second electronic device  470  in the multi-user communication session. As shown in  FIG.  4 A , the three-dimensional environment  450 A at the first electronic device  460  and the three-dimensional environment  450 B at the second electronic device  470  may include an application window  432 , which is optionally a video player user interface of a video player application running on the electronic devices  460 / 470 . In some examples, the shared application window  432  may include playback controls  425  in the three-dimensional environments  450 A/ 450 B that are selectable to control playback of the video content displayed in the shared application window  432 . As shown in  FIG.  4 A , in some examples, the shared application window  432  may be displayed with a grabber or handlebar affordance  435  which is optionally selectable to initiate movement of the shared application window  432  within the three-dimensional environments  450 A/ 450 B. In some examples, because the application window  432  is shared, the user of the first electronic device  460  and the user of the second electronic device  470  are able to view the video content in the application window  432  at their respective devices, as similarly described above. 
     As mentioned above, the three-dimensional environment  450 A at the first electronic device  460  may include the avatar  415  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  470 , and the three-dimensional environment  450 B at the second electronic device  470  may include the avatar  417  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  460 . As alluded to above, the user of the first electronic device  460  and the user of the second electronic device  470  are viewing the video content in the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environments  450 A/ 450 B in  FIG.  4 A . Accordingly, the avatars  415 / 417  corresponding to the users are oriented to face toward the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environments  450 A/ 450 B. For example, at the first electronic device  460 , the avatar  415  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  470  may be located to the right of the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  460  and may be oriented to face toward the shared application window  432 , which is optionally located centrally within the three-dimensional environment  450 A. Similarly, at the second electronic device  470 , the avatar  417  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  460  may be located to the left of the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470  and may also be oriented to face toward the shared application window  432 , which is optionally also located centrally within the three-dimensional environment  450 B, as shown in  FIG.  4 A . 
     In some examples, interaction input directed to the shared application window  432  causes the shared application window  432  to be moved within the shared three-dimensional environment. In some examples, the shared application window  432  may be an object of a second type, different from the first type described above with reference to  FIGS.  3 A- 3 G . For example, the shared application window  432  has a vertical orientation (e.g., a front-facing surface of the shared application window  432  is aligned to a vertical axis/plane) from the viewpoint of the users of the electronic devices  460 / 470 , as shown in  FIG.  4 A . In some examples, the shared three-dimensional environment is spatially refined depending on a manner (e.g., direction) of the movement directed to the shared application window  432 , as described in detail below. 
     As shown in  FIG.  4 A , the user of the second electronic device  470  optionally provides a selection input  472 A directed to the grabber affordance  435 , which is associated with the shared application window  432 , in three-dimensional environment  450 B, followed by a movement/drag input  474 A. For example, as similarly described above, the user of the first electronic device  460  may provide a pinch gesture (e.g., using a hand of the user) while the gaze of the user is directed toward the shared application window  432 , followed by movement of the hand of the user while maintaining the pinch gesture (or other selection input). In some examples, the selection input  472 A has one or more characteristics of the selection inputs described above. As shown in  FIG.  4 A , the movement input  474 A optionally corresponds to movement of the shared application window  432  forward in the three-dimensional environment  450 B and toward the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 . 
     In some examples, in response to receiving the movement input  474 A, the second electronic device  470  forgoes performing spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment  450 B (including the shared application window  432  and the avatar  417  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  460 ). For example, as mentioned above, the second electronic device  470  performs spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment  450 B depending on a direction of the movement of the shared application window  432 , which is an object of the second type (e.g., a vertically oriented object), in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the manner of the movement of the shared application window  432  is forward in the three-dimensional environment  450 B (e.g., toward the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 ), the second electronic device  470  does not perform spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 A , the second electronic device  470  does not display a planar element (e.g., disc), such as planar element  337  in  FIGS.  3 B- 3 C , below the shared application window  432  and the avatar  417  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  460  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. 
     Rather, as shown in  FIG.  4 B , the second electronic device  470  may move the shared application window  432  within the three-dimensional environment  450 B in accordance with the movement input  474 A, without moving the avatar  417  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  460  or any other shared virtual objects. For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 B , after detecting an end of the selection input  472 A and/or an end of the movement input  474 A (e.g., a deselection input, such as a release of the pinch gesture of the hand of the user), the second electronic device  470  displays the shared application window  432  at a location in the three-dimensional environment  450 B that is closer to the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470  (e.g., compared to that in  FIG.  4 A ). Additionally, as shown in  FIG.  4 B , the second electronic device  470  may scale the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B based on the movement of the shared application window  432 . For example, in  FIG.  4 A , the shared application window  432  is displayed at a first size in the three-dimensional environment  450 B (e.g., relative to the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 ) when the movement input  474 A is received. As shown in  FIG.  4 B , after the movement of the shared application window  432  toward the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 , the shared application window  432  is displayed at a second size, smaller than the first size. In some examples, the second electronic device  470  scales the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B such that the video content displayed in the shared application window  432  occupies a same amount of a field of view of the user of the second electronic device  470  after the movement of the shared application window  432  within the three-dimensional environment  450 B. 
     In some examples, as similarly described above, when the second electronic device  470  receives the input for moving the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B while the first electronic device  460  and the second electronic device  470  are in the multi-user communication session, the second electronic device  470  transmits an indication of the movement of the shared application window  432 . In some examples, when the first electronic device  460  receives the indication of the movement, the first electronic device  460  moves the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A based on the movement of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B at the second electronic device  470 . For example, because the second electronic device  470  did not spatially refine the three-dimensional environment  450 B (including the shared application window  432 ) in response to the movement input  474 A, the first electronic device  460  moves the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A instead of moving the avatar  415  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  470  (e.g., which would have happened had the three-dimensional environment  450 B been spatially refined at the second electronic device  470 , as similarly described above). In some examples, as shown in  FIG.  4 B , the first electronic device  460  moves the shared application window  432  toward the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  460 , such that a distance between the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A and the avatar  415  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  470  is equal to or proportional to a distance between the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B and the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 . 
     Additionally, as shown in  FIG.  4 B , in some examples, the first electronic device  460  scales the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A when the shared application window  432  is moved closer to the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  460 . For example, as similarly described above, the first electronic device  460  decreases a size of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A when the shared application window  432  is moved closer to the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  460 . In some examples, the scaling of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A is based on the scaling of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. For example, the size of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A is equal to or proportional to the size of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. 
     In some examples, the shared application window  432  may alternatively be moved backward in the three-dimensional environment  450 B and farther from the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 . For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 C , the second electronic device  470  may receive a selection input  472 B directed to the grabber affordance  435  (and/or the shared application window  432 ) in the three-dimensional environment  450 B, followed by a movement input  474 B. In some examples, the selection input  472 B has one or more characteristics of the selection input  472 A above and the movement input  474 B has one or more characteristics of the movement input  474 A above. As shown in  FIG.  4 C , the movement input  474 B corresponds to movement of the shared application window  432  farther from the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 . 
     As previously discussed above, the shared application window  432  is an object of the second type (e.g., a vertically oriented object). As described above with reference to  FIGS.  4 A- 4 B , movement of an object of the second type closer to the viewpoint of the user does not cause the electronic device to perform spatial refinement in the shared three-dimensional environment. For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 B , movement of the shared application window  432  closer to the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470  does not cause the second electronic device  470  to perform spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. As shown in  FIG.  4 C , in response to receiving the movement input  474 B corresponding to movement of the shared application window  432  backward in the three-dimensional environment  450 B and away from the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 , the second electronic device  470  forgoes performing spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 C , the second electronic device  470  may not display the planar element (e.g., planar element (disc)  337  in  FIGS.  3 B- 3 C ) below the shared application window  432  and the avatar  417  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  460 . 
     In some examples, as shown in  FIG.  4 D , in response to receiving the movement input  474 B, the second electronic device  470  moves the shared application window  432  within the three-dimensional environment  450 B in accordance with the movement input  474 B, without moving the avatar  417  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  460 . For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 D , after detecting an end of the selection input  472 B and/or an end of the movement input  474 B (e.g., a deselection input, such as a release of the pinch gesture of the hand of the user), the second electronic device  470  displays the shared application window  432  at a location in the three-dimensional environment  450 B that is farther from the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470  (e.g., compared to that in  FIG.  4 C ). Additionally, as shown in  FIG.  4 D , as similarly described above, the second electronic device  470  may scale the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B based on the movement of the shared application window  432 . For example, in  FIG.  4 C , the shared application window  432  is displayed at a first size in the three-dimensional environment  450 B (e.g., relative to the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 ) when the movement input  474 B is received. As shown in  FIG.  4 D , after the movement of the shared application window  432  away from the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 , the shared application window  432  is displayed at a second size, larger than the first size. In some examples, the second electronic device  470  scales the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B such that the video content displayed in the shared application window  432  occupies a same amount of a field of view of the user of the second electronic device  470  after the movement of the shared application window  432  within the three-dimensional environment  450 B, as previously discussed above. 
     In some examples, as similarly described above, when the second electronic device  470  receives the input for moving the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B while the first electronic device  460  and the second electronic device  470  are in the multi-user communication session, the second electronic device  470  transmits an indication of the movement of the shared application window  432 . In some examples, when the first electronic device  460  receives the indication of the movement, the first electronic device  460  moves the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A based on the movement of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B at the second electronic device  470 . For example, because the second electronic device  470  did not spatially refine the three-dimensional environment  450 B (including the shared application window  432 ) in response to the movement input  474 B, the first electronic device  460  moves the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A instead of moving the avatar  415  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  470  (e.g., which would have happened had the three-dimensional environment  450 B been spatially refined at the second electronic device  470 , as similarly described above). In some examples, as shown in  FIG.  4 D , the first electronic device  460  moves the shared application window  432  away from the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  460 , such that a distance between the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A and the avatar  415  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  470  is equal to or proportional to a distance between the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B and the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 . 
     Additionally, as shown in  FIG.  4 D , in some examples, the first electronic device  460  scales the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A when the shared application window  432  is moved farther from the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  460 . For example, as similarly described above, the first electronic device  460  increases a size of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A when the shared application window  432  is moved farther from the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  460 , as shown in  FIG.  4 D . In some examples, the scaling of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A is based on the scaling of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 D , the size of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A is equal to or proportional to the size of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. 
     Accordingly, as outlined above with reference to  FIGS.  4 A- 4 D , when interaction input is directed to an object of the second type (e.g., a vertically oriented object, such as the shared application window  432 ), the electronic device performs spatial refinement in the shared three-dimensional environment based on the manner (e.g., direction) of the movement of the object in the shared three-dimensional environment. For example, as discussed above, movement of the shared application window  432  forward or backward in the three-dimensional environment  450 B (e.g., toward or away from the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 ) causes the second electronic device  470  to forgo performing spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. Rather, the second electronic device  470  may move the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B in accordance with the movement input without moving the avatar  417  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  460 , which causes the first electronic device  460  to also move the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A based on the movement input received at the second electronic device. It may be advantageous to implement the behavior outlined above for forward and backward movement to help avoid situations in which movement of a user&#39;s avatar in the shared three-dimensional environment causes the avatar to at least partially obstruct or distract from the shared content displayed in the application window. Attention is now directed toward example interactions with the shared application window  432  that result in spatial refinement in the shared three-dimensional environment. 
     In some examples, as shown in  FIG.  4 E , the second electronic device  470  may receive a selection input  472 C directed to the grabber affordance  435  (and/or the shared application window  432 ), followed by movement input  474 C. For example, as similarly described above, the second electronic device  470  detects a pinch gesture provided by a hand of the user of the second electronic device while the gaze of the user is directed to the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B, followed by movement of the hand of the user while maintaining the pinch gesture. As shown in  FIG.  4 E , the movement input  474 C may correspond to movement of the shared application window  432  radially around the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470  (e.g., rightward along a perimeter of a circle centered at the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 ). 
     In some examples, as shown in  FIG.  4 E , in response to receiving the movement input  474 C directed to the shared application window  432 , the second electronic device  470  performs spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. For example, as previously described above, movement of the shared application window  432  also causes movement of the avatar  417  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  460  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. In some examples, the second electronic device  470  spatially refines the three-dimensional environment  450 B including the shared application window  432 , which is an object of the second type (e.g., a vertically oriented object), because the movement input  474 C corresponds to movement of the shared application window  432  radially to the right relative to the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 . In other words, the movement input  474 C optionally does not correspond to movement of the shared application window  432  forward or backward along a line from the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 , as previously discussed with reference to  FIGS.  4 A- 4 D . Additionally, as shown in  FIG.  4 E , in some examples, in response to receiving the movement input  474 C, the second electronic device  470  may display the planar element (e.g., disc)  437  below the object(s) selected for spatial refinement in three-dimensional environment  450 B. For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 E , the disc  437  is displayed below the shared application window  432  and the avatar  417  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  460  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. 
     As mentioned above, the movement input  474 C is optionally rightward radially around the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470  in three-dimensional environment  450 B. In some examples, as shown in  FIG.  4 F , in response to the movement input  474 C, the second electronic device  470  moves the shared application window  432  rightward radially around the viewpoint  418 B of the user of the second electronic device  470  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B in accordance with the movement input  474 C. Additionally, in some examples, as shown in  FIG.  4 F , the second electronic device  470  changes an orientation of the shared application window  432  after the movement of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. For example, as previously discussed above with reference to  FIG.  4 A , the shared application window  432  has a first orientation that is angled toward the user of the second electronic device  470  (e.g., a front-facing surface of the shared application window  432  is facing toward the viewpoint of the user) when the movement input  474 C is received in  FIG.  4 E . As shown in  FIG.  4 F , when the second electronic device  470  moves the shared application window  432  in accordance with the movement input  474 C, the second electronic device  470  displays the shared application window  432  with a second orientation, different from the first orientation, such that the shared application window  432  continues to face toward the viewpoint  418 B of the user of the second electronic device  470 . For example, the second electronic device  470  rotates the shared application window  432  about a vertical axis  485  through the viewpoint  418 B of the user of the second electronic device  470  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B (e.g., such that the shared application window  432  continues to face toward the viewpoint  418 B of the user while maintaining the same distance from the viewpoint  418 B). 
     In some examples, as shown in  FIG.  4 F , the second electronic device  470  does not change the size of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. For example, because the movement input  474 C corresponds to movement of the shared application window  432  along a circle centered at the viewpoint  418 B of the user of the second electronic device  470 , a distance between the shared application window  432  and the viewpoint  418 B of the user does not change in the three-dimensional environment  450 B when the shared application window is moved. Accordingly, the second electronic device  470  does not scale the shared application window  432  in response to the movement input  474 C. Further, as mentioned above, the second electronic device  470  moves the avatar  417  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  460  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B and displays the avatar  417  with an orientation that faces toward the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. For example, as discussed above, when the second electronic device  470  spatially refines the three-dimensional environment  450 B in response to the movement input  474 C, the second electronic device  470  moves the avatar  417  and the shared application window  432  radially rightward in the three-dimensional environment  450 B, which includes rotating the shared application window  432  and the avatar  417 . As shown in  FIG.  4 F , the second electronic device  470  may translate the avatar  417  and rotate (e.g., as represented by arrow  475 B) the avatar  417  by a same radial amount as the rotation of the shared application window  432  about the vertical axis  485  discussed above. 
     Likewise, because the second electronic device  470  spatially refined the three-dimensional environment  450 B (including the avatar  417  and the shared application window  432 ), the first electronic device  460  rotates the avatar  415  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  470  within three-dimensional environment  450 A based on the movement of the shared application window  432  at the second electronic device  470 . For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 F , the first electronic device  460  rotates the avatar  415  (e.g., as represented by arrow  475 A) relative to the viewpoint  418 A of the user of the first electronic device  460  (e.g., about a vertical axis through the avatar  415 ) based on the radial movement of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. In some examples, a radial amount that the rotation of the avatar  415  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A is equal to or proportional to the radial amount of the rotation of the shared application window  432  at the second electronic device  470 . 
     Additionally, in some examples, when the first electronic device  460  rotates the avatar  415  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A, the first electronic device  460  does not move (or rotate) the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A. For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 F , when the first electronic device  460  moves the avatar  415  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A, the first electronic device  460  maintains display of the shared application window  432  centrally within the three-dimensional environment  450 A. Further, the first electronic device  460  does not scale the shared application window  432  when the avatar  415  is rotated in the three-dimensional environment  450 A. For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 F , the first electronic device  460  may maintain display of the shared application window  432  with a same size as before the movement input  474 C was detected (e.g., in  FIG.  4 E ). 
     It should be understood that, while the orientations of the faces of the avatars  415 / 417  are utilized in  FIG.  4 F  to indicate (e.g., changes to) the respective orientations of the avatars  415 / 417  of the users within the three-dimensional environments  450 A/ 450 B, additional or alternative characteristics of the avatars  415 / 417  may be utilized to convey changes to the respective orientations of the avatars  415 / 417 . For example, for avatars including full-body and/or upper-body renderings of the users of the electronic devices, the torso (e.g., including the shoulders, arms, and/or chest) of each of the avatars may indicate the respective orientations of the avatars within the three-dimensional environments  450 A/ 450 B. Similarly, for avatars including full-body renderings of the users of the electronic devices, the lower-body (e.g., including the hips, legs, and/or feet) of each of the avatars may indicate the respective orientations of the avatars within the three-dimensional environments  450 A/ 450 B. 
     Accordingly, as outlined above, in response to receiving an interaction input that includes movement of the shared application window radially in the shared three-dimensional environment about the viewpoint of the user, the electronic device performs spatial refinement in the shared three-dimensional environment. For example, spatially refining the shared application window  432  at the second electronic device  470  in response to the movement input  474 C does not cause the avatar  415  to interfere with the user&#39;s view (e.g., at viewpoint  418 A) of the video content at the first electronic device  460 . As shown in  FIG.  4 F , the avatar  415  is rotated at the first electronic device  460  based on the radial movement of the shared application window  432  at the second electronic device  470 , which optionally does not cause the avatar  415  to occlude, obscure, or distract from the video content in the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A. 
     It should be understood that, in some examples, the above-described behavior applies for radial movement leftward (e.g., in the opposite direction than that shown in  FIGS.  4 E- 4 F ). For example, in  FIG.  4 E , if the movement input  474 C alternatively corresponds to movement of the shared application window  432  radially leftward in the three-dimensional environment  450 B relative to the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 , the second electronic device  470  may perform spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment  450 B and move the shared application window  432  and the avatar  417  radially leftward in the three-dimensional environment  450 B in accordance with the movement. As similarly described above with reference to  FIG.  4 F , in such an example, the second electronic device  470  may rotate the shared application window  432  and the avatar  417  in addition to the leftward radial movement (e.g., translation) of the shared application window  432  and the avatar  417  (e.g., about a vertical axis through the viewpoint  418 B of the user of the second electronic device  470 ). Further, the first electronic device  460  may forgo moving the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A but may rotate the avatar  415  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  470  (e.g., about a vertical axis through the avatar  415 ) based on the leftward radial movement detected at the second electronic device  470 , as similarly described above. 
     In some examples, the shared application window  432  may alternatively be moved laterally within the shared three-dimensional environment while the first electronic device  460  and the second electronic device  470  are in the multi-user communication session. As shown in  FIG.  4 G , the second electronic device  470  may receive a selection input  472 D directed to the grabber affordance  435  (and/or the shared application window  432 ) in the three-dimensional environment  450 B, followed by a movement input  474 D (e.g., while the gaze of the user of the second electronic device  470  is directed to the shared application window  432 ). In some examples, the selection input  472 D has one or more characteristics of the selection input  472 C above, and the movement input  474 D has one or more characteristics of the movement input  474 C above. As shown in  FIG.  4 G , the movement input  474 D optionally corresponds to lateral (e.g., rightward) movement of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B relative to the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 . 
     In some examples, in response to receiving the movement input  474 D, the second electronic device  470  determines a manner of the movement directed to the shared application window  432 . As previously discussed above, because the shared application window  432  is optionally an object of the second type (e.g., a vertically oriented object relative to the viewpoint of the user), the second electronic device  470  evaluates a direction of the movement of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. As shown in  FIG.  4 G , in accordance with the determination that the movement input  474 D corresponds to lateral movement of the shared application window  432 , the second electronic device  470  performs spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. For example, as previously described above, movement of the shared application window  432  also causes movement of the avatar  417  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  460  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. Additionally, as shown in  FIG.  4 G , in some examples, in response to receiving the movement input  474 D, the second electronic device  470  may display the planar element (e.g., disc)  437  below the object(s) selected for spatial refinement in three-dimensional environment  450 B. For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 G , the disc  437  is displayed below the shared application window  432  and the avatar  417  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  460  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. 
     As mentioned above, the movement input  474 D is optionally rightward relative to the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470  in three-dimensional environment  450 B. In some examples, as shown in  FIG.  4 H , in response to the movement input  474 D, the second electronic device  470  moves the shared application window  432  rightward in the three-dimensional environment  450 B relative to the viewpoint  418 B of the user of the second electronic device  470  in accordance with the movement input  474 D. Additionally, in some examples, as shown in  FIG.  4 H , the second electronic device  470  changes an orientation of the shared application window  432  after or during the movement of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. For example, as previously discussed above with reference to  FIG.  4 A , the shared application window  432  has a first orientation that is angled toward the user of the second electronic device  470  (e.g., a front-facing surface of the shared application window  432  is facing toward the viewpoint of the user) when the movement input  474 D is received in  FIG.  4 G . As shown in  FIG.  4 H , when the second electronic device  470  moves the shared application window  432  in accordance with the movement input  474 D, the second electronic device  470  displays the shared application window  432  with a second orientation, different from the first orientation, such that the shared application window  432  continues to face toward the viewpoint  418 B of the user of the second electronic device  470 . For example, the second electronic device  470  rotates the shared application window  432  about a vertical axis  485  through the viewpoint  418 B of the user of the second electronic device  470  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B (e.g., a vertical axis through a center of the shared application window  432 ). As discussed below, the rightward movement input  474 D includes changing the distance between the viewpoint  418 B of the user of the second electronic device  470 , which does not cause the second electronic device to perform spatial refinement and moving the shared application window radially rightward (e.g., along a circle centered at the viewpoint  418 B), which does cause the second electronic device to perform spatial refinement. 
     Accordingly, in some examples, as shown in  FIG.  4 H , the second electronic device  470  scales the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. For example, because the movement input  474 D corresponds to movement of the shared application window  432  rightward relative to the viewpoint  418 B of the user of the second electronic device  470 , a distance between the shared application window  432  and the viewpoint  418 B of the user increases in the three-dimensional environment  450 B when the shared application window  432  is moved. Accordingly, the second electronic device  470  increases the size of the shared application window  432  in response to the movement input  474 D (e.g., such that the portion of the user&#39;s field of view that is occupied by the video content in the shared application window  432  remains consistent after the movement of the shared application window), as shown in  FIG.  4 H  and as similarly discussed above. Further, as mentioned above, the second electronic device  470  moves the avatar  417  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  460  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B and displays the avatar  417  with an orientation that faces toward the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. For example, as discussed above, when the second electronic device  470  spatially refines the three-dimensional environment  450 B in response to the movement input  474 D, the second electronic device  470  moves the avatar  417  and the shared application window  432  radially rightward in the three-dimensional environment  450 B, which includes rotating the shared application window  432  and the avatar  417 . As shown in  FIG.  4 H , the second electronic device  470  may translate the avatar  417  and rotate (e.g., as represented by arrow  475 D) the avatar  417  by a same radial amount as the rotation of the shared application window  432  about the vertical axis  485  of the user of the second electronic device  470  discussed above. 
     Likewise, because the second electronic device  470  spatially refined the three-dimensional environment  450 B (including the avatar  417  and the shared application window  432 ), the first electronic device  460  rotates the avatar  415  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  470  within three-dimensional environment  450 A based on the movement of the shared application window  432  at the second electronic device  470 . For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 H , the first electronic device  460  rotates the avatar  415  (e.g., as represented by arrow  475 C) relative to the viewpoint  418 A of the user of the first electronic device  460  based on the rotation of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. In some examples, a radial amount that the rotation of the avatar  415  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A is equal to or proportional to the radial amount of the rotation of the shared application window  432  at the second electronic device  470 . 
     Additionally, in some examples, when the first electronic device  460  rotates the avatar  415  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A, the first electronic device  460  moves the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A. For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 H , when the first electronic device  460  rotates the avatar  415  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A, the first electronic device  460  increases a distance between the shared application window  432  and the viewpoint  418 A of the user of the first electronic device  460  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A (e.g., moves the shared application window  432  backward in the three-dimensional environment  450 A). In some examples, the distance that the shared application window  432  is moved in the three-dimensional environment  450 A is based on (e.g., is equal or proportional to) the distance that the shared application window  432  is moved away from the viewpoint  418 B of the user of the second electronic device  470 , as similarly discussed above. Additionally, in some examples, because the second electronic device  470  scaled the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B in response to the movement input  474 D, as discussed above, the first electronic device  460  scales the shared application window  432  when the avatar  415  is moved in the three-dimensional environment  450 A. For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 H , the first electronic device  460  increases the size of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A based on the scaling of the shared application window  432  at the second electronic device  470  (e.g., such that the size of the shared application window  432  is equal or proportional between the three-dimensional environments  450 A/ 450 B). 
     Accordingly, as outlined above, in response to receiving an interaction input that includes movement of the shared application window laterally in the shared three-dimensional environment about the viewpoint of the user, the electronic device performs spatial refinement in the shared three-dimensional environment. For example, spatially refining the shared application window  432  at the second electronic device  470  in response to the movement input  474 D does not cause the avatar  415  to interfere with the user&#39;s view (e.g., at viewpoint  418 A) of the video content at the first electronic device  460 . As shown in  FIG.  4 H , the avatar  415  rotates based on the rightward movement of the shared application window  432  at the second electronic device  470 , which optionally does not cause the avatar  415  to occlude, obscure, or distract from the video content in the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A. Attention is now directed to examples of interaction inputs that include upward movement of the shared application window  432  in the shared three-dimensional environment. 
     In some examples, the shared application window  432  may alternatively be elevated in the three-dimensional environment  450 B relative to the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 . For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 I , the second electronic device  470  may receive a selection input  472 E directed to the grabber affordance  435  (and/or the shared application window  432 ), followed by movement input  474 E. For example, as similarly described above, the second electronic device  470  detects a pinch gesture provided by a hand of the user of the second electronic device while the gaze of the user is directed to the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B, followed by raising of the hand of the user while maintaining the pinch gesture. As shown in  FIG.  4 I , the movement input  474 E may correspond to movement of the shared application window  432  radially upward in the three-dimensional environment  450 B relative to the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470  (e.g., heightening of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B without any change in distance between the viewpoint  418 B of the user of the second electronic device  470  and the shared application window  432 ). 
     As previously discussed above, because the shared application window  432  is an object of the second type (e.g., a vertically oriented object), the second electronic device  470  spatially refines the three-dimensional environment  450 B (including the shared application window  432 ) depending on the manner in which the shared application window  432  is moved in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. As discussed above, the second electronic device  470  spatially refines the three-dimensional environment  450 B (including the shared application window  432 ) in response to receiving movement input that corresponds to radial movement of the shared application window  432  (e.g., in  FIGS.  4 E- 4 F ) or lateral movement of the shared application window  432  (e.g., in  FIGS.  4 G- 4 H ). The second electronic device  470  optionally does not spatially refine the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B in response to receiving movement input that corresponds to forward or backward movement of the application window  432  relative to the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470  (e.g., in  FIGS.  4 A- 4 D ). As discussed below, the second electronic device  470  may not spatially refine the three-dimensional environment  450 B (including the shared application window  432 ) in response to receiving movement input that corresponds to radial upward or downward movement of the application window  432  relative to the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470 . 
     In some examples, as shown in  FIG.  4 I , in response to receiving the movement input  474 E directed to the shared application window  432 , the second electronic device  470  forgoes performing spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. For example, the second electronic device  470  optionally does not display the planar element (e.g., disc)  437  below the avatar  417  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  460  and the shared application window  432 . Accordingly, as similarly discussed above, the second electronic device  470  moves the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B in accordance with the movement input  474 E without moving the avatar  417 . For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 J , the second electronic device  470  raises/elevates the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B relative to the viewpoint  418 B of the user of the second electronic device  470  in accordance with the movement input  474 E. Further, as alluded to above, the second electronic device  470  forgoes moving the avatar  417  in accordance with the movement input  474 E. For example, the second electronic device  470  does not raise/elevate the avatar  417  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. 
     In some examples, as shown in  FIG.  4 J , when the second electronic device  470  raises/elevates the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B in accordance with the movement input  474 E, the second electronic device  470  angles the shared application window  432  downward to continue facing the viewpoint  418 B of the user of the second electronic device  470 . For example, the second electronic device  470  rotates the shared application window  432  about a horizontal axis  485 D through the viewpoint  418 B of the user of second electronic device  470 , such that the front-facing surface of the shared application window  432  is oriented to face the viewpoint  418 B of the user of the second electronic device  470  while maintaining the same distance from the new height in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. Additionally, in some examples, the second electronic device  470  forgoes scaling the shared application window  432  in response to the movement input  474 E. For example, as discussed previously above, the second electronic device  470  scales the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B when the distance between a location of the shared application window  432  and the viewpoint  418 B of the user of the second electronic device  470  changes (e.g., increases or decreases) because of the movement of the shared application window  432 . In  FIG.  4 J , because the distance between the shared application window  432  and the viewpoint  418 B of the user of the second electronic device  470  does not change when the shared application window  432  is raised/elevated in the three-dimensional environment  450 B in response to the movement input  474 E, the second electronic device  470  does not change a size at which the shared application window  432  is displayed in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. 
     In some examples, in response to the inputs received at the second electronic device  470 , the first electronic device  460  moves the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A based on the movement input  474 E received at the second electronic device  470 , without moving the avatar  415  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  470 . For example, as previously discussed above, the second electronic device  470  transmits an indication of the movement input  474 E received at the second electronic device  470 . As shown in  FIG.  4 J , the first electronic device  460  may radially raise/elevate the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A by a height that is equal to or proportional to the height the shared application window  432  is raised in the three-dimensional environment  450 B at the second electronic device  470 . As previously discussed herein, because the second electronic device  470  does not perform spatial refinement in response to the movement input  474 E in the three-dimensional environment  450 B, the first electronic device  460  does not raise/elevate the avatar  415  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A. 
     Additionally, in some examples, the first electronic device angles the shared application window  432  downward in the three-dimensional environment  450 A to face toward the viewpoint  418 A of the user of the first electronic device  460 . For example, as shown in  FIG.  4 J , when the shared application window  432  is raised/elevated in the three-dimensional environment  450 A, the first electronic device  460  rotates the shared application window  432  about a horizontal axis  485 C through the viewpoint  418 A of the user of the first electronic device  460 , such that a front-facing surface of the shared application window  432  is oriented toward the viewpoint  418 A of the user of the first electronic device  460  while maintaining the same distance in the three-dimensional environment  450 A. As similarly discussed above, in some examples, the first electronic device  460  forgoes scaling the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A. For example, because the second electronic device  470  did not scale the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B at the second electronic device  470  in response to the movement input  474 E, the first electronic device  460  performs similarly and does not change the size of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A. 
     Accordingly, as outlined above, in response to receiving an interaction input that includes movement of the shared application window upward or downward in the shared three-dimensional environment relative to the viewpoint of the user, the electronic device forgoes performing spatial refinement in the shared three-dimensional environment. For example, spatially refining the shared application window  432  at the second electronic device  470  in response to the movement input  474 E may cause the avatar  415  to interfere with the user&#39;s view (e.g., at viewpoint  418 A) of the video content at the first electronic device  460 . As an example, if the avatar  415  were raised/elevated in  FIG.  4 J  at the first electronic device  460  based on the upward movement of the shared application window  432  at the second electronic device  470 , the avatar  415  could occlude, obscure, or distract from the video content in the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A. Accordingly, the shared application window  432  is moved at both electronic devices  460 / 470  in response to the movement input  474 E, without moving the avatars  415 / 417  corresponding to the users of the electronic devices  460 / 470 . Thus as outlined above, in response to detecting radial lateral movement of the shared application window  432 , as shown in  FIGS.  4 E- 4 F , the second electronic device  470  performs spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment  450 B, but in response to detecting radial vertical movement of the shared application window  432 , as shown in  FIGS.  4 I- 4 J , the second electronic device  470  forgoes performing spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. 
     In some examples, the shared application window  432  may alternatively be moved vertically in a non-radial manner in the shared three-dimensional environment. For example, in  FIG.  4 I , the movement input  474 E may correspond to vertical movement in the three-dimensional environment  450 B that causes the distance between the application window  432  and the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470  to change. In some such examples, the second electronic device  470  would still forgo performing spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment  450 B (e.g., would move the shared application window  432  without moving the avatar  417 ) but would also scale the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B. For example, as similarly described above with reference to  FIG.  4 D , because the non-radial vertical movement would increase the distance between the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  470  and the shared application window  432 , the second electronic device  470  would increase the size of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B (e.g., in addition to rotating the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B as described above with reference to  FIG.  4 I ). Further, as similarly described above, the first electronic device  460  may also scale the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A when the shared application window  432  is moved vertically relative to the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  460  based on the movement input detected at the second electronic device  470  (e.g., and without moving the avatar  415  because spatial refinement is not being performed). 
     As described above with reference to  FIGS.  3 A- 3 G , in some examples, the shared three-dimensional environment may alternatively include an object of the first type (e.g., a horizontally oriented object). In some examples, a shared virtual object that is an object of the first type may also be moved vertically in the shared three-dimensional environment. For example, referring back to  FIG.  3 C , if the movement input  374 A alternatively corresponds to movement of the shared virtual object  314  upward in the three-dimensional environment  350 A relative to the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360 , the first electronic device  360  would similarly forgo performing spatial refinement in the three-dimensional environment  350 A. For example, the first electronic device  360  would move the shared virtual object  314  upward in the three-dimensional environment  350 A relative to the viewpoint of the user in accordance with the movement input without moving the avatar  315  corresponding to the user of the second electronic device  370 . Additionally, in some examples, the second electronic device  370  would move the shared virtual object  314  upward in the three-dimensional environment  350 B based on the movement input detected at the first electronic device  360  without moving the avatar  317  corresponding to the user of the first electronic device  360 . In some examples, the first electronic device  360  does not change an orientation of the shared virtual object  314  in response to the upward movement of the shared virtual object  314  in the three-dimensional environment  350 A. For example, the first electronic device  360  maintains the horizontal orientation of the shared virtual object  314  in the three-dimensional environment  350 A relative to the viewpoint of the user of the first electronic device  360 . Likewise, the second electronic device  370  may not change the orientation of the shared virtual object  314  in the three-dimensional environment  350 B when the second electronic device  370  moves the shared virtual object  314  upward relative to the viewpoint of the user of the second electronic device  370 . 
     Thus, as described herein with reference to  FIGS.  4 A- 4 J , the disclosed method enables users in a multi-user communication session to interact with shared content intuitively and efficiently, including moving the shared content, without affecting any one user&#39;s viewpoint and/or experience of the shared content, as one advantage. Additionally, the disclosed method promotes and maintains spatial truth for the users in the multi-user communication session, which enhances the users&#39; experience within the communication session by modeling real-world interactions that would occur if the users were physically located in the same physical environment. 
     It is understood that the examples shown and described herein are merely exemplary and that additional and/or alternative elements may be provided within the three-dimensional environment for interacting with the content and/or the avatars. It should be understood that the appearance, shape, form, and size of each of the various user interface elements and objects shown and described herein are exemplary and that alternative appearances, shapes, forms and/or sizes may be provided. For example, the virtual objects representative of application windows (e.g.,  324  and  432 ) may be provided in an alternative shape than a rectangular shape, such as a circular shape, triangular shape, etc. In some examples, the various selectable affordances (e.g., grabber or handlebar affordances  335  and  435 ) described herein may be selected verbally via user verbal commands (e.g., “select grabber bar” or “select virtual object” verbal command). Additionally or alternatively, in some examples, the various options, user interface elements, control elements, etc. described herein may be selected and/or manipulated via user input received via one or more separate input devices in communication with the electronic device(s). For example, selection input may be received via physical input devices, such as a mouse, trackpad, keyboard, etc. in communication with the electronic device(s). 
     Additionally, it should be understood that, although the above methods are described with reference to two electronic devices, the above methods optionally apply for two or more electronic devices communicatively linked in a communication session. In some examples, while three, four, five or more electronic devices are communicatively linked in a multi-user communication session, when a user of one electronic device provides movement input at the electronic device, if the movement input is directed to a shared object of the first type (e.g., a horizontally oriented object, such as virtual object  314 ) in the multi-user communication session, the movement input moves the shared object and the other users&#39; avatars at the electronic device, and if the movement input is directed to a shared object of the second type (e.g., a vertically oriented object, such as application window  432 ) in the multi-user communication session, the movement input moves the avatars corresponding to the users of the other electronic devices and the shared object at the electronic device depending on the manner (e.g., direction) of the movement input. For example, if the manner of the movement input directed to the shared object of the second type corresponds to forward or backward movement or upward or downward movement while the three, four, five or more electronic devices are communicatively linked in a multi-user communication session, the movement input moves the shared object at the electronic device without moving the avatars corresponding to the users of the other electronic devices. 
       FIG.  5    illustrates a flow diagram illustrating an example process for application-based spatial refinement in a multi-user communication session at an electronic device according to some examples of the disclosure. In some examples, process  500  begins at a first electronic device in communication with a display, one or more input devices, and a second electronic device. In some examples, the first electronic device and the second electronic device are optionally a head-mounted display, respectively, similar or corresponding to devices  260 / 270  of  FIG.  2   . As shown in  FIG.  5   , in some examples, at  502 , while in a communication session with the second electronic device, the first electronic device presents, via the display, a computer-generated environment including an avatar corresponding to a user of the second electronic device and a first shared object. For example, the first electronic device displays a three-dimensional environment, such as three-dimensional environment  350 A that includes the avatar  315  and the shared virtual object  314  in  FIG.  3 A . 
     In some examples, at  504 , while displaying the computer-generated environment including the avatar corresponding to the user of the second electronic device and the first shared object, the first electronic device receives, via the one or more input devices, a first input corresponding to a request to move the first shared object in a first manner (e.g., forward movement) in the computer-generated environment. For example, the first electronic device receives a selection input, followed by a movement input directed to the first shared object, such as the movement input  374 A directed to the shared virtual object  314  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A as shown in  FIG.  3 B . In some examples, at  506 , in response to receiving the first input, at  508 , in accordance with a determination that the first shared object is an object of a first type, the first electronic device moves the avatar and the first shared object in the computer-generated environment in the first manner in accordance with the first input. For example, if the first electronic device determines that the first shared object is an object of the first type, such as a horizontally oriented object (e.g., shared virtual object  314 ), the first electronic device performs spatial refinement in the computer-generated environment. In some examples, performing spatial refinement includes moving the first shared object and the avatar in the three-dimensional environment in accordance with the movement input, such as the forward movement of the shared virtual object  314  and the avatar  315  in the three-dimensional environment  350 A as shown in  FIG.  3 C . 
     In some examples, at  510 , in accordance with a determination that the first shared object is an object of a second type that is different from the first type and the first input is a first type of input, the first electronic device moves the first shared object in the computer-generated environment in the first manner in accordance with the first input without moving the avatar. For example, if the first electronic device determines that the first shared object is an object of the second type, such as a vertically oriented object (e.g., shared application window  432  in  FIG.  4 A ), and that the first input correspond to a change in distance between the first shared object, as similarly shown in  FIG.  4 A , or vertical radial movement, as similarly shown in  FIG.  4 I , the first electronic device forgoes performing spatial refinement in the computer-generated environment. In some examples, forgoing performing spatial refinement includes moving the first shared object in the three-dimensional environment without moving the avatar corresponding to the user of the second electronic device, such as the forward movement of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 B as shown in  FIG.  4 B . 
     It is understood that process  500  is an example and that more, fewer, or different operations can be performed in the same or in a different order. Additionally, the operations in process  500  described above are, optionally, implemented by running one or more functional modules in an information processing apparatus such as general-purpose processors (e.g., as described with respect to  FIG.  2   ) or application specific chips, and/or by other components of  FIG.  2   . 
       FIG.  6    illustrates a flow diagram illustrating an example process for application-based spatial refinement in a multi-user communication at an electronic device according to some examples of the disclosure. In some examples, process  600  begins at a first electronic device in communication with a display, one or more input devices, and a second electronic device. In some examples, the first electronic device and the second electronic device are optionally a head-mounted display, respectively, similar or corresponding to devices  260 / 270  of  FIG.  2   . As shown in  FIG.  6   , in some examples, at  602 , while in a communication session with the second electronic device, the first electronic device presents, via the display, a computer-generated environment including an avatar corresponding to a user of the second electronic device and a first shared object. For example, the first electronic device displays a three-dimensional environment, such as three-dimensional environment  350 B that includes the avatar  317  and the shared virtual object  314  in  FIG.  3 A . 
     In some examples, at  604 , while displaying the computer-generated environment including the avatar corresponding to the user of the second electronic device and the first shared object, the first electronic device receives, from the second electronic device, a first indication corresponding to movement of the first shared object in accordance with first movement input received at the second electronic device. For example, the first electronic device receives an indication that the second electronic device has received movement input directed to the first shared object displayed at the second electronic device, such as movement input  374 A directed to the shared virtual object  314  in the three-dimensional environment  350 A as shown in  FIG.  3 B . In some examples, at  606 , in response to receiving the first indication, at  608 , in accordance with a determination that the first shared object is an object of a first type, the first electronic device moves the avatar in the computer-generated environment in accordance with the first movement input without moving the first shared object. For example, if the first electronic device determines that the first shared object is an object of the first type, such as a horizontally oriented object (e.g., shared virtual object  314 ), the first electronic device performs spatial refinement in the computer-generated environment. In some examples, performing spatial refinement includes moving the avatar, without moving the first shared object, in the three-dimensional environment in accordance with the movement input received at the second electronic device, such as the forward movement of the avatar  317  in the three-dimensional environment  350 B based on the movement input  374 A as shown in  FIG.  3 C . 
     In some examples, at  610 , in accordance with a determination that the first shared object is an object of a second type that is different from the first type and the first movement input is a first type of input, the first electronic device moves the first shared object in the computer-generated environment in accordance with the first movement input without moving the avatar. For example, if the first electronic device determines that the first shared object is an object of the second type, such as a vertically oriented object (e.g., shared application window  432  in  FIG.  4 A ), and that the first input correspond to a change in distance between the first shared object, as similarly shown in  FIG.  4 A , or vertical radial movement, as similarly shown in  FIG.  4 I , the first electronic device forgoes performing spatial refinement in the computer-generated environment. In some examples, forgoing performing spatial refinement includes moving the first shared object in the three-dimensional environment without moving the avatar corresponding to the user of the second electronic device, such as the forward movement of the shared application window  432  in the three-dimensional environment  450 A based on the movement input  474 A as shown in  FIG.  4 B . 
     It is understood that process  600  is an example and that more, fewer, or different operations can be performed in the same or in a different order. Additionally, the operations in process  600  described above are, optionally, implemented by running one or more functional modules in an information processing apparatus such as general-purpose processors (e.g., as described with respect to  FIG.  2   ) or application specific chips, and/or by other components of  FIG.  2   .
