Exclusive Mode Transitions

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to transitioning an artificial reality (XR) experience, of multiple XR experiences, from operating in a shared experience environment to operating in an exclusive mode, where other non-selected XR experiences are hidden or otherwise placed into an inactive state during the transitioning process. When an XR experience operates in the shared experience environment, the XR experience can be limited by or otherwise constrained by one or more rules of the shared experience environment-such as a specified area into which the XR experience can write content. When an XR experience transitions to exclusive mode, the selected XR experience can access resources that are otherwise unavailable to the selected XR experience in the shared experience environment. For example, transitioned XR experience can access a greater amount of processing capacity, display real estate, and/or memory of the XR device.
