System state management in centralized rendering environment

A device, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• initialize a tree structure for a three-dimensional environment, the tree structure comprising at least a first node corresponding to a visual state manager process and the first node having at least a first child node and a second child node, wherein the first child node corresponds to a first visual state for a first application process and the second child node corresponds to a second visual state for a second application process;
• render the three-dimensional environment based at least in part on a traversal of the tree structure;
• identify, by the visual state manager process, a request to change at least one of the first or second visual states;
• determine, by the visual state manager process and based on the request, a first state update to the first visual state and a second state update to the second visual state;
• update the tree structure by passing, by the first node, the first state update to the first child node and separately passing the second state update to the second child node;
• and
• re-render the three-dimensional environment based at least in part on a traversal of the updated tree structure.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to cause:

• initializing a tree structure for a three-dimensional environment, the tree structure comprising at least a first node corresponding to a visual state manager process and the first node having at least a first child node and a second child node, wherein the first child node corresponds to a first visual state for a first application process and the second child node corresponds to a second visual state for a second application process;
• rendering the three-dimensional environment based at least in part on a traversal of the tree structure;
• identifying, by the visual state manager process, a request to change at least one of the first or second visual states;
• determining, by the visual state manager process and based on the request, a first state update to the first visual state and a second state update to the second visual state;
• updating the tree structure by passing, by the first node, the first state update to the first child node and separately passing the second state update to the second child node;
• and
• re-rendering the three-dimensional environment based at least in part on a traversal of the updated tree structure.
