Abstract
A method and apparatus for transitioning from a virtual reality environment to an application download environment is provided. In an embodiment, a digital graphical virtual reality application executes on a client computing device. A request is received to download additional content at a future time. The client computing device makes a determination that the digital graphical virtual reality application has been terminated. In response to determining that the application has been terminated, the client computing device displays a notification for downloading additional content. Upon receiving a selection of the notification, the client computing device sends a request to a marketplace application to cause the client computing device to download the additional content.
