A user request to display an application while the device is locked is received. In response to this user request, one or more images generated by the application are obtained and displayed while the device is locked. Additionally, an indication of an application to be displayed upon resuming operation from a power-saving mode can be received, and an image generated by the application is displayed in response to resuming operation from the power-saving mode.

Application display on a locked device

A computing system, such as a head mounted display, is configured for dynamically modifying an occlusion, such as a hand occlusion, that is presented and moved within a mixed reality environment. The occlusion is associated with a movement attribute, such as a velocity or acceleration, corresponding with movement of the occlusion within the mixed reality environment. Upon detecting a movement of the occlusion, it is determined whether the movement attribute meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold. When the threshold is at least met, the visual appearance of the occlusion is modified by at least one of modifying a transparency attribute of the occlusion to cause increased transparency of the occlusion or by modifying an edge display attribute of the occlusion to cause feathering of one or more occlusion edges.
