Method and System for Tracking Virtual Reality Experiences

A method, comprising:

• receiving, from a virtual reality headset, a software development kit comprising a plurality of location coordinates corresponding to a gaze of a user during a virtual reality simulation;
• uploading the plurality of location coordinates to a database;
• generating an application programming interface (API) linking a remote client device to functionality of the objection-relational database;
• prompting the remote client device that the API is available to receive one or more parameters to query the database;
• receiving the one or more parameters via the API from the remote client device, the one or more parameters defining a level of granularity for generating a heat map;
• querying the database using the received query according to a criteria set forth in the received query to retrieve a set of location information;
• generating a heat map based on the retrieved location information, by segmenting the virtual reality simulation into a plurality of discrete segments in accordance with the defined level of granularity and assigning each discrete segment a concentration level based on a number of location coordinates contained in each respective discrete segment;
• and
• prompting the remote client device, via a second API, that the heat map is available for display.

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory having programming instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the processor, performs an operation comprising:
• receiving, from a virtual reality headset, a software development kit comprising a plurality of location coordinates corresponding to a gaze of a user during a virtual reality simulation;
• uploading the plurality of location coordinates to a database;
• generating an application programming interface (API) configured to receive a query from a remote client device;
• prompting the remote client device that the API is available to receive one or more parameters to query the database;
• receiving the one or more parameters via the API from the remote client device, the one or more parameters defining a level of granularity for generating a heat map;
• querying the database using the received query according to a criteria set forth in the received query to retrieve a set of location information;
• generating a heat map based on the retrieved location information, by segmenting the virtual reality simulation into a plurality of discrete segments in accordance with the defined level of granularity and assigning each discrete segment a concentration level based on a number of location coordinates contained in each respective discrete segment;
• and
• prompting the remote client device, via a second API, that the heat map is available for display.
