A creative level-switching prototype enables seamless transitions between different levels or locations within the same environment. Players walk through a door in the origin level and emerge in the destination space, creating a magical portal effect. The system employs a scene capture component to generate real-time snapshots of the destination environment, which are then projected onto the door's material surface. This technique creates a convincing illusion that the door provides a window into the target location, enhancing spatial navigation and adding a fantastical element to level traversal.
