Abstract
A system includes a first device configured to cause a virtual reality image to be output by a display. The system also includes a second device communicatively coupled with the first device. The second device is configured to detect a user input associated with an action capable of being displayed in the virtual reality image. The second device is also configured to cause the first device to cause an object to be displayed in the virtual reality image based on the user input. The object at least partially includes a graphic representative of one or more of the second device, a user movement with respect to the second device, or the user input.
Claims18
A system, comprising:
- a first device configured to cause a virtual reality image to be output by a display viewable by a user;
- and
- a second device communicatively coupled with the first device, the second device being configured to:
- detect a user input from the user, wherein the user input is associated with an action capable of being displayed in the virtual reality image;
- and
- instruct the first device to cause an object to be displayed in the virtual reality image based on the user input,
- wherein the object at least partially comprises a graphic representative of one or more of the second device, a user movement with respect to the second device, or the user input,
- the user input is a first user input, the action is a first action, the object is a first object, and the system further comprises:
- a third device communicatively coupled with the second device by way of a communication network independent of the first device, the third device being configured to:
- detect a second user input associated with a second action capable of being displayed in the virtual reality image;
- and
- cause the first device, by way of the second device, to cause a second object to be displayed in the virtual reality image based on the second user input,
- wherein the second object comprises an image associated with the second action or at least partially comprises a graphic representative of one or more of the third device, a user movement with respect to the third device, or the second user input.
A system, comprising:
- a first device configured to cause a virtual reality image to be output by a display viewable by a user;
- and
- a second device communicatively coupled with the first device, the second device being configured to:
- detect a user input from the user, wherein the user input is associated with an action capable of being displayed in the virtual reality image;
- and
- instruct the first device to cause an object to be displayed in the virtual reality image based on the user input,
- wherein the object at least partially comprises a graphic representative of one or more of the second device, a user movement with respect to the second device, or the user input,
- the display is a first display, and the system further comprises:
- a third device communicatively coupled with the second device by way of a communication network independent of the first device, the third device being configured to cause a second display to output the virtual reality image.
A system, comprising:
- a first device configured to cause a virtual reality image to be output by a display viewable by a user;
- and
- a second device communicatively coupled with the first device, the second device being configured to:
- detect a user input from the user, wherein the user input is associated with an action capable of being displayed in the virtual reality image;
- and
- instruct the first device to cause an object to be displayed in the virtual reality image based on the user input,
- wherein the object at least partially comprises a graphic representative of one or more of the second device, a user movement with respect to the second device, or the user input,
- the system further comprising:
- a server;
- and
- a third device communicatively coupled with the server by way of a communication network independent of the first device,
- wherein
- the second device is communicatively coupled with the server by way of the communication network independent of the first device,
- the display is a first display, and
- the third device is configured to cause a second display to output the virtual reality image based on data received from the server.
A method, comprising:
- causing, by a first device, a virtual reality image to be output by a display viewable by a user;
- detecting, by a second device communicatively coupled with the first device, a first user input from the user, wherein the first user input is associated with a first action capable of being displayed in the virtual reality image;
- controlling, by the second device, the first device to cause a first object to be displayed in the virtual reality image based on the user input;
- detecting, by a third device, a second user input associated with a second action capable of being displayed in the virtual reality image;
- and
- causing, by the third device, the first device, by way of the second device, to cause a second object to be displayed in the virtual reality image based on the second user input,
- wherein the first object at least partially comprises a graphic representative of one or more of the second device, a user movement with respect to the second device, or the first user input, and
- the second object comprises an image associated with the second action or at least partially comprises a graphic representative of one or more of the third device, a user movement with respect to the third device, or the second user input.
