1. An information handling system operating a head-mounted display (HMD) device comprising:
a processor;
a memory;
a power management unit (PMU);
an HMD device interface to interface with the HMD device and to receive wear indication data from the HMD device that an HMD wearing sensor indicates that a user is wearing the HMD device;
a video display device to display application images and to display a fiducial image when the HMD device is detected as worn by the user;
the processor execute computer readable program code of an XR switching system to display an XR environment to the user including an XR image version of the video display application images via the HMD display device, where the video display application images are presented to the user via the video display device if no indication is received that HMD wearing sensor indicates that a user is wearing the HMD device; and
the processor to execute computer readable program code including an application program interface (API) for converting the application images to the XR image version of the video display application images to be presented to the user such that the XR image version of the video display application images are manipulatable within the XR environment.
