Immersive gallery with linear scroll

A system, comprising at least one processor configured to perform operations comprising:

• providing a navigation view of a gallery of a plurality of two-dimensional images displayed in an immersive interface, the immersive interface including an avatar representing a user viewing the gallery, wherein the navigation view comprises a view of the gallery based on which direction the avatar is facing;
• detecting that the avatar is facing in front of a first image of the plurality of two-dimensional images of the gallery for a threshold period of time;
• selecting the first image of the plurality of two-dimensional images to provide a linear view comprising a zoomed in version of the first image, responsive to the detecting that the avatar is facing in front of the first image for the threshold period of time;
• providing the linear view of the first image comprising the zoomed in version of the first image including one or more directional keys to scroll through the plurality of two-dimensional images while remaining in the linear view, and wherein a remainder of the plurality of the two-dimensional images are not presently visible via the linear view;
• providing the linear view of a second image responsive to detecting a scroll command comprising a selection of the one or more of direction keys while in the linear view, wherein the first image is located in a first location in the gallery and the second image is located in a second location different from the first location in the gallery;
• detecting a request to exit the linear view while the second image is displayed in the linear view;
• and
• displaying the avatar in the second location responsive to detecting the request to exit the linear view.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at last one computing device, cause the at last one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• providing a navigation view of a gallery of a plurality of two-dimensional images displayed in an immersive interface, the immersive interface including an avatar representing a user viewing the gallery, wherein the navigation view comprises a view of the gallery based on which direction the avatar is facing;
• detecting that the avatar is facing in front of a first image of the plurality of two-dimensional images of the gallery for a threshold period of time;
• selecting the first image of the plurality of two-dimensional images to provide a linear view comprising a zoomed in version of the first image, responsive to the detecting that the avatar is facing in front of the first image for the threshold period of time;
• and
• providing the linear view of the first image comprising the zoomed in version of the first image including one or more directional keys to scroll through the plurality of two-dimensional images while remaining in the linear view, and wherein a remainder of the plurality of the two-dimensional images are not presently visible via the linear view;
• providing the linear view of a second image responsive to detecting a scroll command comprising a selection of the one or more of direction keys while in the linear view, wherein the first image is located in a first location in the gallery and the second image is located in a second location different from the first location in the gallery;
• detecting a request to exit the linear view while the second image is displayed in the linear view;
• and
• displaying the avatar in the second location responsive to detecting the request to exit the linear view.
