Original Abstract Submitted

in some embodiments, a computer system changes a level of detail with which a respective environment is being displayed. in some embodiments, a computer system applies a neutralization adjustment to generate a representation of the physical environment. in some embodiments, a computer system displays a user interface object in a three-dimensional environment with a three-dimensional stereoscopic effect. in some embodiments, a computer system facilitates light blending. in some embodiments, a computer system transitions between three-dimensional environments using visual effects. in some embodiments, a computer system detects a movement in a viewpoint of a user while displaying a portal to a virtual environment, and either maintains or ceases display of the portal based on the amount of movement and/or a direction in which the portal opens. in some embodiments, a computer system outputs a different sound effect when initiating display of different virtual three-dimensional environments.
