Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to providing an augmented world environment model for an artificial reality (XR) environment. Some implementations of the present technology define how experiences will run on an XR system as a hierarchy of entities, including experiences, augments those experiences create, and an exclusive mode in which a particular experience takes control of the entire view. Some implementations can establish a framework for multiple experiences to interface with each other and to run in an XR ecosystem. This can improve upon traditional mobile and desktop operating systems by providing different states optimized for XR, which can include improved utilization of resources on an XR device, such as an XR head-mounted display. Experiences and augments can enter a particular state based on criteria, and can be, based on the state, processed differently by an operating system or provided with particular capabilities.
