There are 3 different types of UI Layouts.

Screen Space — Overlay renders the UI elements on top of the screen, they don't interact with any elements within the scene itself.

Screen Space — Camera requires you to specify a camera for the UI Elements to be overlayed on. UI elements on this render mode are part of the scene and have depth. Plane Distance controls where in relation to the specified camera the UI is rendered within 3D space.

World Space renders the UI elemts as full 3D objects within the game. This becomes valuables in situations such as interactable screens within the world.
