Abstract:
An electronic device is provided that has a heat mountable device (HMD) with a display, some sensors, a network interface, and a memory that are all interconnected with a processor. First context is created for a virtual reality (VR) application. The VR application includes a default virtual object and a virtual environment. Second context is obtained from the physical world. The first context and the second context are combined to create a combined context that includes physical world details with the first context. A determination is made as to whether a replacement virtual object, relevant to the combined context, is available. When a replacement virtual object is available, it can be obtained and substituted for the default virtual object in the virtual environment. The virtual environment can then be displayed with the replacement virtual object instead of the default virtual object.
