Abstract

Systems and methods are described for a media guidance application (e.g., implemented on a user device) that allows users to select any arbitrary position in a virtual reality environment from where to view the virtual reality content and changes a user’s perspective based on the selected position.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 51 . (canceled) 
     
     
         52 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
 receiving a request from a first user to access a video-based media asset;   providing the video-based media asset to the first user;   receiving a live video feed of the first user reacting to the video-based media asset;   receiving a request from a second user to access the video-based media asset; and   generating for simultaneous display to the second user the video-based media asset and the live video feed of the first user reacting to the video-based media asset.   
     
     
         53 . The method of  claim 52 , further comprising:
 receiving a live video feed of a third user reacting to the video-based media asset; and   generating for simultaneous display to the second user, with the video-based media asset and the live video feed of the first user reacting to the video-based media asset, the live video feed of the third user reacting to the video-based media asset.   
     
     
         54 . The method of  claim 53 , wherein at least one of a user profile of the first user or a user profile of the third user is related to a user profile of the second user. 
     
     
         55 . The method of  claim 52 , further comprising:
 receiving input to transmit a message from the second user to the first user; and   outputting the message while the video-based media asset and the live video feed of the first user are being simultaneously generated for display.   
     
     
         56 . The method of  claim 52 , wherein generating for simultaneous display to the second user the video-based media asset and the live video feed of the first user reacting to the video-based media asset comprises overlaying the live video feed on a portion of the video-based media asset. 
     
     
         57 . The method of  claim 52 , wherein the video-based media asset is a video game. 
     
     
         58 . The method of  claim 52 , wherein the video-based media asset is a movie, a television show, or a sporting event. 
     
     
         59 . The method of  claim 52 , further comprising:
 generating for simultaneous display to the second user, with the video-based media asset and the live video feed of the first user reacting to the video-based media asset, a title of the video-based media asset.   
     
     
         60 . The method of  claim 52 , further comprising:
 generating for simultaneous display to the second user, with the video-based media asset and the live video feed of the first user reacting to the video-based media asset, a user name of a user profile of the first user.   
     
     
         61 . The method of  claim 52 , wherein the video-based media asset is a virtual reality media asset. 
     
     
         62 . A computer-implemented system comprising:
 memory;   control circuitry configured to:
 receive a request from a first user to access a video-based media asset, wherein a user profile of the first user is stored in the memory; 
 provide the video-based media asset to the first user; 
 receive a live video feed of the first user reacting to the video-based media asset; 
 receive a request from a second user to access the video-based media asset; and 
 generate for simultaneous display to the second user the video-based media asset and the live video feed of the first user reacting to the video-based media asset. 
   
     
     
         63 . The system of  claim 62 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: 
 receive a live video feed of a third user reacting to the video-based media asset; and   generate for simultaneous display to the second user, with the video-based media asset and the live video feed of the first user reacting to the video-based media asset, the live video feed of the third user reacting to the video-based media asset.   
     
     
         64 . The system of  claim 63 , wherein at least one of the user profile of the first user or a user profile of the third user is related to a user profile of the second user. 
     
     
         65 . The system of  claim 62 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: 
 receive input to transmit a message from the second user to the first user; and   output the message while the video-based media asset and the live video feed of the first user are being simultaneously generated for display.   
     
     
         66 . The system of  claim 62 , wherein the control circuitry is configured to generate for simultaneous display to the second user the video-based media asset and the live video feed of the first user reacting to the video-based media asset by overlaying the live video feed on a portion of the video-based media asset. 
     
     
         67 . The system of  claim 62 , wherein the video-based media asset is a video game. 
     
     
         68 . The system of  claim 62 , wherein the video-based media asset is a movie, a television show, or a sporting event. 
     
     
         69 . The system of  claim 62 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
 generate for simultaneous display to the second user, with the video-based media asset and the live video feed of the first user reacting to the video-based media asset, a title of the video-based media asset.   
     
     
         70 . The system of  claim 62 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
 generate for simultaneous display to the second user, with the video-based media asset and the live video feed of the first user reacting to the video-based media asset, a user name of a user profile of the first user.   
     
     
         71 . The system of  claim 62 , wherein the video-based media asset is a virtual reality media asset.
