Methods and systems for adding real-world sounds to virtual reality scenes

A method for integrating media cues into virtual reality scenes presented on a display, comprising:

• presenting a virtual reality scene on the display;
• outputting audio related to the virtual reality space via headphones;
• receiving sensor data from one or more sensors in a real-world space in which the display is located;
• identifying an object location of an object in the real-world space that produces a sound using the sensor data;
• and
• generating a media cue in the virtual reality scene presented in the display, the media cue is presented in a virtual location that is correlated to the object location of the object in the real-world space, the media cue is rendered as audio data associated with the sound that is captured from the real-world space and is mixed with audio related to the virtual reality space when output via said headphones.
