On discord it was clarified that you can have transitions, as long as it's in the same room.
Specifically, someone asked if they could have point and click adventure, where you click on something to inspect it, and the game transitions to a closer view of the object where you can interact with it. They said this Wass acceptable, as long as it takes place in the same room
Additionally, they also said battle mode transitions (like Pokemon) are acceptable, as long as the fight also takes place in the same room.
No word yet on cockpits counting as a room, cameras on a computer being acceptable, or menus being acceptable.
