AR/VR digital content representation and interaction.

Abstract

Systems and methods for presenting augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) representations of digital content entitlements owned by a user are provided. An AR or VR environment is generated in which the AR or VR representations are presented to simulate a physical collection of media. The user is allowed to interact with the AR or VR representations, thereby triggering one or more actions, such as presentation of the corresponding digital content, presentation of additional, related content, presentation of an option to engage in a purchase transaction for related content or products, etc.

Background

TECHNICAL FIELD(1) The present disclosure relates generally to augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) presentations.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART(2) VR can refer to the creation of a fully immersive virtual world/space experience that users may interact with. AR can refer to the blending of VR elements and real life. For example, AR may involve providing a live displayed experience of a physical, real-world environment in which the real-world elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE(3) In accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method comprises presenting an augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) representation of one or more digital content entitlements. The computer-implemented method further comprises receiving interactive input regarding the AR or VR representation of the one or more digital content entitlements. Further still, the computer-implemented method comprises invoking one or more actions related to digital content associated with the one or more digital content entitlements based upon the interactive input.(4) In accordance with another embodiment, an apparatus, comprises a simulation device adapted to create an AR or VR representation for each digital content entitlement to digital content owned by a user. At least one sensor of the apparatus is adapted to at least one of receive and provide motion information associated with the user interacting with one or

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: presenting to a user an augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) representation of one or more digital content entitlements in accordance with a visual theme representative of the one or more digital content entitlements; receiving interactive input regarding the AR or VR representation of the one or more digital content entitlements; invoking one or more actions related to digital content associated with the one or more digital content entitlements based upon the interactive input; and adjusting the visual theme to comport with a viewing history of the user related to the digital content associated with the one or more digital content entitlements. 13. An apparatus, comprising: a simulation device adapted to create an AR or VR representation for each digital content entitlement to digital content owned by a user; at least one sensor adapted to at least one of receive and provide motion information associated with the user interacting with one or more of the AR or VR representations; and a presentation device adapted to present an AR or VR environment in which the AR or VR representations as a collection representative of the digital content owned by the user, the AR or VR environment comporting with a visual theme representative of the one or more digital content entitlements; wherein the presentation device is further adapted to adjust the visual theme to comport with a viewing history of the user related to the digital content associated with the one or more digital content entitlements.
