REAL-WORLD AWARENESS FOR VIRTUAL REALITY

摘要

Techniques and systems for providing real-world awareness for virtual reality are disclosed. In response to determining that a virtual reality application is in use, an awareness module can begin monitoring for external signals by at least accessing an available sensor of a computing device. In response to detecting the at least one external signal, the awareness module can determine a level of notification for an interruption notification of the virtual reality application based on the at least one external signal. The awareness module can receive context of the virtual reality application. A type for the interruption notification of the virtual reality application can be determined based on the determined level of notification and the context of the virtual reality application. The interruption notification may be provided to the virtual reality application based on the determined type.
