1. An electronic device, comprising:
one or more displays;
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
presenting, via the one or more displays, a virtual environment;
detecting a transition event associated with an object in a real environment;
in response to detecting the transition event associated with the object in the real environment, presenting a combined view of the virtual environment and the real environment, wherein the combined view includes imagery of the virtual environment at a first visibility and imagery of the real environment at a second visibility;
while presenting the combined view of the virtual environment and the real environment, detecting a user input for adjusting the combined view;
in accordance with a determination that the user input for adjusting the combined view is an input of a first type, adjusting the combined view of the virtual environment and the real environment by increasing the visibility of the imagery of the virtual environment and decreasing the visibility of the imagery of the real environment; and
in accordance with a determination that the user input for adjusting the combined view is an input of a second type, adjusting the combined view of the virtual environment and the real environment by decreasing the visibility of the imagery of the virtual environment and increasing the visibility of the imagery of the real environment.
