Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes rendering, for one or more displays of a VR device, a first output image of a VR environment based on a user's field of view. The VR environment has a virtual boundary corresponding to a real-world environment. The method further includes determining whether the user is approaching a threshold distance of the virtual boundary and determines the user's direction of movement and field of view, accessing one or more images of the real-world environment captured by one or more cameras of the VR device, and rendering a second output image comprising a portion of the VR environment and a portion of a passthrough view of the real-world environment based on the accessed images. The portion of the passthrough view is based on the determined direction of movement and the field of view of the user.
