Sensory stimulus management in head mounted display

A method comprising:

• identifying a plurality of game states of a game when rendered for display on a head mounted display (HMD);
• calculating, by a computer, game intensity values for said plurality of game states based on tracked user behavior obtained from one or more users during prior gaming sessions of the game, the tracked user behavior provides information regarding sensory stimulus experienced during said plurality of game states;
• and
• adjusting, during a current session, said game intensity values for content presented to a user, the adjusting reduces graphical elements rendered for a scene being presented on a display of the HMD;
• wherein the game intensity values are calculated from feedback received from the one or more users during said prior game session of the game, the game intensity values being associated to areas in the game where higher levels of intensity is anticipated;
• wherein said feedback is received inputs received from said one or more users, the inputs include a rating of intensity perceived by said one or more users;
• wherein the inputs represent tags that associate the rating of intensity to specific areas in a virtual space of the game presented via the HMD.

A method comprising:

• identifying a plurality of game states of a game when rendered for display on a head mounted display (HMD);
• calculating, by a computer, game intensity values for said plurality of game states based on tracked user behavior obtained from one or more users during prior gaming sessions of the game;
• and
• adjusting, during a current session, said game intensity values for content presented to a user, the adjusting reduces graphical elements rendered for a scene being presented on a display of the HMD, wherein the tracked user behavior includes tracked eye movement that is indicative a possibility of vertigo.

Computer readable media having program instructions for presenting content to a head mounted display (HMD), comprising:

• program instructions for identifying a plurality of game states of a game when rendered for display on a head mounted display (HMD);
• program instructions for calculating, by a computer, game intensity values for said plurality of game states based on tracked user behavior obtained from one or more users during prior gaming sessions of the game, the tracked user behavior provides information regarding sensory stimulus experienced during said plurality of game states;
• and
• program instructions for adjusting, during a current session, said game intensity values for content presented to a user, the adjusting reduces graphical elements rendered for a scene being presented on the display of the HMD, wherein the tracked user behavior includes tracked eye movement that is processed to determine an indication of vertigo.

• and
• program instructions for adjusting, during a current session, said game intensity values for content presented to a user, the adjusting reduces graphical elements rendered for a scene being presented on the display of the HMD;
• wherein the tracked user behavior is associated to one or more of a current game level, or a user play history, or a user age, or a rate of user input for a game state, or a combination of two or more thereof;
• and
• wherein the identifying and calculating is processed by a cloud computing system for said tracked user behavior during said prior gaming sessions, and wherein said cloud computing system further processing the adjusting of the game intensity values for content during the current game session for the use;
• wherein said HMD receives streaming video for said game and renders to the display of the HMD.
