A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided in accordance with an example embodiment in order to present a virtual reality scene via an immersive user interface concurrent with an image, different than the virtual reality scene, [which] is presented in a view window of the immersive user interface. A virtual reality scene may be presented by a variety of immersive user interfaces.... the immersive user interface may include goggles, glasses or another head-mounted device that is configured to present the virtual reality scene to the user. In order to enhance the immersion of the user in the virtual reality scene, the immersive user interface may be configured to limit or prevent the view by the user of the real world, such as by limiting or preventing a user's peripheral view of the real world. In order to increase the pervasiveness of the user's immersive experience, the immersive user interface may be configured to not only visually present the virtual reality scene, but also to concurrently provide audio signals, such as spatial audio signals, that were recorded and are associated with the virtual reality scene. 4, record 1, English, - virtual%20reality%20scene

The determination of the refractive index of an isotropic substance is made by making a comparison with a substance of known refractive index. The comparison materials used are called refractive index oils.... grains of the unknown substance are placed on a glass slide, a cover glass is placed over the grains, and a refractive index oil is introduced to completely surround the grains. This is called the immersion method. 1, record 3, English, - immersion%20method

Les indices de réfraction peuvent être mesurés de manière précise par la méthode d'immersion. Elle consiste à observer au microscope le minéral qui est plongé dans différents liquides, dont les indices de réfraction sont connus, jusqu'à ce que soit trouvée la correspondance exacte entre le minéral et le liquide de référence. Cette analogie est établie lorsque le relief disparaît, c'est-à-dire quand le minéral semble se confondre avec le liquide. 2, record 3, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20d%27immersion

In immersion curing, the submerged meat or poultry absorbs the cover pickle solution, slowly, over a long period of time. There are two recognized methods for calculating the allowable ingoing amount of nitrite in immersion cured products. The method used depends on the mechanism of movement of nitrite within the meat and/or poultry/pickle system and into the meat, meat byproduct, or poultry tissue itself. 2, record 4, English, - cover%20pickle

The three different chilling methods accepted in the EU are : air chilling in which the carcases are chilled in cold air; air-spray chilling in which the carcase is chilled in cold air interspersed with a water haze or fine water spray; immersion chilling, in which poultry carcases are chilled in tanks of cold water or ice and water. This method, used prior to freezing the poultry, is sometimes called spin chilling. 1, record 6, English, - air%2Dspray%20chilling
