View-based breakpoints for a display system

A system comprising:

• a display;
• one or more motion sensors attached to the display;
• and
• a processing apparatus configured to:
• associate a breakpoint with a set of views that corresponds to a region in a simulated reality environment presented using the display;
• access motion data captured using the one or more motion sensors;
• determine, based at least on the motion data, a view within the simulated reality environment, wherein the view is stored as a viewing vector from a position in the simulated reality environment;
• based on the stored viewing vector, detect whether the view is a member of the set of views associated with the breakpoint;
• responsive to detecting that the view is a member of the set of views associated with the breakpoint, trigger the breakpoint and perform a debug action associated with the breakpoint;
• while performing the debug action, continue executing a simulation process of the simulated reality environment, wherein a state of at least one virtual object in the simulated reality environment continues to be viewed with the display and continues to respond to input received using the one or more motion sensors;
• and
• wherein the processing apparatus is configured to detect that the view is associated with the breakpoint by determining an angle between the viewing vector from the position in the simulated reality environment and a central viewing vector.
