1. A method of operating a system configured to generate a virtual environment, the method comprising:

  • activating a tracking device and tracking a position of a user electronic device in an ambient environment;

    detecting a transition condition, includingdetecting an external input and generating a transition command when the detected external input is recognized as a request from an external party to initiate a transition of the user electronic device between the virtual environment and the ambient environment, orcomparing a distance between the user electronic device and at least one boundary of a tracking area tracked by the tracking device within the ambient environment and generating a transition command when the distance between the user electronic device and the at least one boundary of the tracking area is less than or equal to a preset threshold distance; and

    performing a transition process to transition between the virtual environment generated by the user electronic device and the ambient environment in response to the detected transition condition.
