TECHNIQUES FOR SWITCHING BETWEEN IMMERSION LEVELS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- 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 can create a simulated reality environment on an electronic device. The program allows the user to change the level of immersion in the environment by using a rotatable input device. The environment is presented at different immersion levels, each associated with a different location within the simulated reality.
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.
