Abstract
The disclosed techniques immediately download, to a head-mounted display device or to a device connected to a head-mounted display device, data used to render each of multiple three-dimensional scenes that are part of an experience. An experience includes related and/or linked content that can be accessed and/or displayed for a particular purpose. In various examples, the experience can initially be accessed using a computing device (e.g., a laptop, a smartphone, etc.). The immediate download can be implemented in response to a user switching consumption of the experience from a display of the computing device to a display of the head-mounted display device so three-dimensional scenes can be consumed in a three-dimensional immersive environment (e.g., a three-dimensional coordinate space displayed via the head-mounted display device). Data for individual ones of the three-dimensional scenes is instantiated (e.g., rendered and displayed) asynchronously based on user navigation to a next three-dimensional scene.
