Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to navigation, display, and/or presentation of content.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A computer system configured to communicate with one or more display generation components and one or more input devices, comprising:
one or more processors; and memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying, via the one or more display generation components, a representation of a media library, wherein the media library includes a plurality of media items including a first media item and a second media item different from the first media item;
while displaying the representation of the media library, detecting, via the one or more input devices, a request to display the first media item; and
in response to detecting the request to display the first media item:
in accordance with a determination that first criteria are satisfied, wherein the first criteria include a requirement that the first media item is a non-spatial media item in order for the first criteria to be met, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, the first media item with a spatial conversion option that, when selected, causes the computer system to initiate a process for converting the first media item from a non-spatial media item to a spatial media item that includes stereoscopic depth.

2 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein displaying the representation of the media library comprises concurrently displaying a plurality of representations of media items in the representation of the media library, including a representation of a non-spatial media item, wherein the representation of the non-spatial media item is displayed without displaying the spatial conversion option.

3 . The computer system of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
in response to detecting the request to display the first media:
in accordance with a determination that second criteria different from the first criteria are satisfied, wherein the second criteria include a requirement that the first media item is a spatial media item that includes stereoscopic depth information in order for the second criteria to be met, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, the first media item with a first set of visual characteristics and with a spatial viewing option that, when selected, causes the computer system to display the first media item in a spatial viewing mode in which the first media item is displayed with a second set of visual characteristics different from the first set of visual characteristics.

4 . The computer system of claim 3 :
displaying the first media item with the spatial conversion option comprises displaying the spatial conversion option at a first display position; and displaying the first media item with the spatial viewing option comprises displaying the spatial viewing option at the first display position.

5 . The computer system of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
while displaying the first media item with the spatial conversion option, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a selection input corresponding to selection of the spatial conversion option; and in response to receiving the selection input corresponding to selection of the spatial conversion option, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, replacement of the spatial conversion option with a spatial viewing option that, when selected, causes the computer system to transition from displaying the first media item with a first set of visual characteristics to displaying the first media item in a spatial viewing mode in which the first media item is displayed with a second set of visual characteristics different from the first set of visual characteristics.

6 . The computer system of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
while displaying the first media item with the spatial conversion option, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a selection input corresponding to selection of the spatial conversion option; and in response to receiving the selection input corresponding to selection of the spatial conversion option, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, the first media item with a three-dimensional effect in which one or more visual elements of the first media item are displayed at a first simulated depth and other visual elements of the first media item are displayed at a second simulated depth different from the first simulated depth.

7 . The computer system of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
while displaying the first media item with the spatial conversion option, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a selection input corresponding to selection of the spatial conversion option; and in response to receiving the selection input corresponding to selection of the spatial conversion option, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, a first animation while converting the first media item from a non-spatial media item to a spatial media item that includes simulated depth.

8 . The computer system of claim 7 , wherein displaying the first animation includes displaying an indication of a determined three-dimensional shape of one or more visual elements of the first media item.

9 . The computer system of claim 7 , wherein displaying the first animation includes displaying animation of the spatial conversion option.

10 . The computer system of claim 7 , wherein displaying the first animation includes blurring at least a first portion of the first media item.

11 . The computer system of claim 7 , wherein displaying the first animation includes moving the boundary of a distortion layer across the first media item.

12 . The computer system of claim 7 , wherein displaying the first animation includes displaying movement of a color gradient across different simulated depths of the first media item.

13 . The computer system of claim 7 , wherein displaying the first animation includes displaying highlighting of different depths of the first media item at different times.

14 . The computer system of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
in response to detecting the request to display the first media item:
in accordance with a determination that the first media item is a non-spatial media item that cannot be converted to a spatial media item, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, the first media item without displaying the spatial conversion option.

15 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the spatial conversion option is displayed with a brightness that is above a threshold brightness.

16 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein converting the first media item from a non-spatial media item to a spatial media item that includes stereoscopic depth includes using one or more machine learning models to estimate the depths of objects depicted in the first media item.

17 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein converting the first media item from a non-spatial media item to a spatial media item that includes stereoscopic depth includes using one or more generative models to create infill to synthetically generate at least one of a left view of the first media item and a right view of the first media item that is different from the left view of the first media item.

18 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein:
displaying the first medi
