INSERTING IMAGERY FROM A REAL ENVIRONMENT INTO A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18233653 titled 'INSERTING IMAGERY FROM A REAL ENVIRONMENT INTO A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT

Simplified Explanation

- This patent application describes techniques for presenting a combined view of a virtual environment and a real environment. - The combined view is presented when a transition event associated with an object in the real environment is detected. - If an input of a first type is detected, the visibility of imagery of the virtual environment is increased and the visibility of imagery of the real environment is decreased in the combined view. - If an input of a second type is detected, the visibility of the imagery of the virtual environment is decreased and the visibility of the imagery of the real environment is increased in the combined view.

Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to techniques for presenting a combined view of a virtual environment and a real environment in response to detecting a transition event associated with an object in the real environment. While presenting the combined view, if an input of a first type is detected, the combined view is adjusted by increasing the visibility of imagery of the virtual environment and decreasing the visibility of imagery of the real environment. If an input of a second type is detected, the combined view is adjusted by decreasing the visibility of the imagery of the virtual environment and increasing the visibility of the imagery of the real environment.
