    摘要: An exemplary virtual reality media system presents a field of view of an immersive virtual reality world on a display screen of a media player device associated with a user. The field of view includes content of the immersive virtual reality world and dynamically changes in response to user input provided by the user as the user experiences the immersive virtual reality world. Additionally, the virtual reality media system detects that a gaze of the user is directed for a predetermined amount of time at a gaze target included within the field of view. In response to the detection, the virtual reality media system presents an interactive user interface associated with the gaze target. In some examples, the interactive user interface is presented within the field of view together with the content of the immersive virtual reality world. Corresponding methods and systems are also described.

    摘要: An exemplary virtual reality media system provides, for display on a display screen of a media player device associated with a user, a field of view of an immersive virtual reality world generated from and including camera-captured real-world scenery. The field of view includes content of the immersive virtual reality world and dynamically changes in response to user input provided by the user as the user experiences the immersive virtual reality world. The virtual reality media system integrates into the immersive virtual reality world a three-dimensional (“3D”) virtual object having an outer surface designated as a promotional content platform. The virtual reality media system also accesses data representative of a two-dimensional (“2D”) promotional image and maps the 2D promotional image onto the promotional content platform on the outer surface of the 3D virtual object such that the 2D promotional image is viewable as a skin of the 3D virtual object.

    摘要: An exemplary mixed reality presentation system accesses video data representative of a real-world environment proximate to a mixed reality player device that is configured to present, to a user of the mixed reality player device, a mixed reality presentation. In the mixed reality presentation, one or more virtual objects included within a virtual domain associated with the real-world environment are presented together with real objects included within the real-world environment. The mixed reality presentation system identifies, based on the accessed video data, a target object among the real objects included within the real-world environment. The mixed reality presentation system extracts the target object from the mixed reality presentation and replaces, within the mixed reality presentation, the target object with a virtual object included within the virtual domain. The virtual object implements a representation of the target object. Corresponding methods are also disclosed.
