Editing cuts in virtual reality

A non-transitory, machine-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause a computing device to:

• define a plurality of scenes, each scene from the plurality of scenes including a plurality of selectable scene cuts;
• define a first interaction zone and a second interaction zone, the first interaction zone being associated with a first scene in the plurality of scenes and the second interaction zone being associated with a second scene in the plurality of scenes;
• automatically select a first scene cut from the plurality of selectable scene cuts to display the first scene, in response to detecting that a gaze direction, associated with a user accessing a virtual reality environment, is directed toward the first interaction zone;
• automatically select a second scene cut from the plurality of selectable scene cuts to display the second scene, in response to detecting that the gaze direction, associated with the user accessing the virtual reality environment, is directed toward the second interaction zone;
• and
• trigger for display in a head mounted display device, the first scene according to the first scene cut or the second scene according to the second scene cut.

A system comprising:

• memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor being configured to:
• define a plurality of scenes, each scene from the plurality of scenes including a plurality of selectable scene cuts;
• define a first interaction zone and a second interaction zone, the first interaction zone being associated with a first scene in the plurality of scenes and the second interaction zone being associated with a second scene in the plurality of scenes;
• automatically select a first scene cut from the plurality of selectable scene cuts to display the first scene, in response to detecting that a gaze direction, associated with a user accessing a virtual reality environment, is directed toward the first interaction zone;
• automatically select a second scene cut from the plurality of selectable scene cuts to display the second scene, in response to detecting that the gaze direction, associated with the user accessing the virtual reality environment, is directed toward the second interaction zone;
• and
• trigger for display in a head mounted display device, the first scene according to the first scene cut or the second scene according to the second scene cut.
