Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a virtual reality-based control method and apparatus, and an electronic device, and relates to the technical field of virtual reality. The method comprises: first monitoring image information captured by a camera for a user; identifying movement information of a target object in the image information; then, according to the movement information of the target object, displaying at least one interactive component model in a virtual reality space, and executing an interaction function event that is pre-bound to an interactive component model selected by the user. By means of applying the technical solution in the present disclosure, the technical problem that user control is easily influenced due to the buttons of an entity device being easily damaged can be effectively solved. A stronger technological sense can be brought to users, thereby enhancing the VR usage experience of users.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to group travel between artificial reality (XR) destinations. Currently, users in an artificial reality (XR) experience cannot travel with a group to a specific destination or between destinations (e.g., to and from virtual worlds, levels, applications, etc.). Thus, some implementations assign users within a group in a multiplayer XR experience (e.g., a virtual lobby) a same session identifier. When the users select a destination, some implementations can provide a computing system hosting the destination with the session identifier associated with the users, such that the hosting computing system can ensure that the users travel to the same instance of the destination together. If a user does not already have the destination installed, some implementations can allow the user to acquire access rights to the destination, then travel to the same instance of the destination as the other users.

Abstract: In some implementations, the disclosed systems and methods a user can be at a source location (e.g., XR environment, two-dimensional webpage/browser, etc.) and input received can trigger traveling the user to a target XR environment (e.g., an immersive environment). In some implementations, the disclosed systems and methods a user can spawn a virtual portal in an origin virtual world for travel to a destination virtual world for the creating user and a group of other users having avatars near that of the creating user. In some implementations, the disclosed systems and methods a user can be at a source location (e.g., XR environment, two-dimensional webpage/browser, etc.) and input received can trigger traveling the user to a target XR environment (e.g., an immersive environment).
