Methods and systems for providing access to virtual scenes of an interactive application include receiving a selection of the interactive application. In response to the selection, a virtual scene of the application is provided. Interactivity of the user detected in the virtual scene is processed to identify predicted interaction with visual options in the virtual scene. The processing continues till a threshold of actions indicative of imminent selection of one of the visual options is reached. A second virtual scene associated with the visual option that was identified to be imminently selected, is pre-loaded, based on achieving the threshold. The second virtual scene is executed using the pre-loaded content, when the visual option associated with the second virtual scene is selected, so as to enable full rendering of the second virtual scene for user interaction.

The present disclosure discloses a model loading method and apparatus for a head-mounted display device and a head-mounted display device. The method includes: obtaining a type of a target handheld device, in which the target handheld device is a handheld device connected to a current application service; determining whether the type of the target handheld device is an existing type in the head-mounted display device; obtaining, in response to the type of the target handheld device being not the existing type in the head-mounted display device, corresponding model resource data based on the type of the target handheld device; and generating, based on the model resource data, a handheld model corresponding to the target handheld device, and loading the handheld model.

Methods and apparatus provide for controlling an operating device, wherein the operating device includes: (i) a grip part to be gripped by a user; and (ii) an operation part for activation by a finger of the user gripping the grip part, where the operation part includes: (i) a movable part capable of moving from a resting position toward another position in response to a force applied by the finger of the user, (ii) a biasing element operating to urge the movable part toward the resting position, (iii) a sensor operating to measure the force applied by the finger of the user to the movable part and produce a sensing signal therefrom, and (iv) a motorized assembly operating to receive a drive signal, and in response, apply an amount of force to the movable part in opposition to the force applied by the finger of the user, and where the drive signal is a variable dependent on variations in the sensing signal, such that the amount of force applied to the movable part in opposition to the force applied by the finger of the user provides the user with haptic feedback.

Systems, methods and apparatus for multi-realm, computer-generated reality systems are disclosed. A method for managing a multi-realm, computer-generated reality includes determining one or more variances between each activity of a first participant and a corresponding baseline activity for each of a plurality of activities associated with traversal of a managed reality system during a session, and quantifying the one or more variances to obtain a performance metric. The method includes combining at least one performance metric for each activity of the first participant to obtain a session performance measurement for the first participant.

In one embodiment, a method includes using one or more cameras of a mobile computing device to capture one or more images of a first user wearing a VR display device in a real-world environment. The mobile computing device transmits a pose of the mobile computing device with respect to the VR display device to a VR system. The mobile computing device receives from the VR system a VR rendering of a VR environment. The VR rendering is from the perspective of the mobile computing device with respect to the VR display device. The method includes segmenting the first user from the one or more images and generating, in real-time responsive to capturing the one or more images, a MR rendering of the first user in the VR environment. The MR rendering of the first user is based on a compositing of the segmented one or more images of the first user and the VR rendering.

A lens assembly, related methods and constituent optical elements are described. The assembly may be used to direct and focus light for various applications. In one instance, the lens assembly is used in conjunction with one or more sources of light such as projected images or video as part of a virtual reality system. The lens assembly includes two or more optical elements arranged to receive light or direct light through different spatial regions of the assembly at different focal powers corresponding to a first user viewing zone and a second user viewing zone. In one instance, the first user viewing zone is a peripheral viewing zone and the second viewing zone is a primary or non-peripheral viewing zone (or vice versa).
