*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.
