TECHNIQUES FOR SWITCHING BETWEEN IMMERSION LEVELS: abstract simplified (18207197)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18207197 Titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR SWITCHING BETWEEN IMMERSION LEVELS'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a computer program that allows users to experience a simulated reality environment on an electronic device. The program presents the environment at different levels of immersion, based on the user's input. The user can use a rotatable input device to request a change in immersion level, and the program will adjust the environment accordingly. The immersion levels are associated with different locations within the simulated reality environment.

Original Abstract Submitted

In one implementation, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores program instructions computer-executable on one or more processors of an electronic device to perform operations. The operations include presenting, on a display of the electronic device, a simulated reality (SR) environment at a first immersion level, where the first immersion level is associated with a first location of a reality boundary. Using a rotatable input device of the electronic device, input is received representing a request to change the first immersion level to a second immersion level. In accordance with receiving the input, the SR environment is presented at the second immersion level, where the second immersion level is associated with a second location of the reality boundary.
