A method of operating an electronic device to mask noise at low scene brightness levels is provided. The method can include acquiring images of a scene and determining a scene brightness level of the acquired images. In response to determining that the scene brightness level is in a first range, the acquired images can be displayed as passthrough content in accordance with a 1:1 nits-to-nits mapping where the perceived brightness of the passthrough content matches the scene brightness level. In response to determining that the scene brightness is less than the first range, the perceived brightness of the passthrough content can be dimmed to be less than the scene brightness level. The method can also include generating virtual content. The passthrough content can be adjusted in accordance with a first scene-brightness-to-display-brightness profile, whereas the virtual content can be adjusted in accordance with a second scene-brightness-to-display-brightness profile.

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.
