SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TWO DIMENSIONAL APPLICATION USAGE IN THREE DIMENSIONAL VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENT

摘要

An electronic mobile device having a physical display, at least one processor, a volatile memory, and non-volatile memory. Stored in the volatile memory are first instructions for generating a 2D user interface and second instructions for generating a 3D VR environment, and system instructions. In a first operation, the first instructions are executed to generate the 2D user interface and provide the 2D user interface to the physical display. In a second operation, the first instructions are executed to generate the 2D user interface and provide the 2D user interface to a virtual display in the volatile memory. Also, in the second operation, the second instructions are executed to generate the 3D VR environment so as to obtain the 2D user interface from the virtual display and render a 3D image using at least part of the 2D user interface, and provide the 3D image to the physical display.
