Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to receive detected information relating to user interaction by a user in a digital environment directed at a concept associated with text-based content. Display of at least a portion of the text-based content to the user is caused in response to the user interaction.

Systems and methods to present information in a virtual environment

In one embodiment, a method includes sending information configured to render a virtual space on a display device associated with a first user, wherein the virtual space provides a virtual experience to the first user; receiving a pause input from the first user to enter a pause mode; and causing the first user to enter the pause mode, wherein the virtual experience within the virtual space is paused for the first user.

Controls and interfaces for user interactions in virtual spaces

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine at least one request to access a content item, wherein the content item was composed using a set of camera feeds that capture at least one scene from a set of different positions. A viewport interface can be provided on a display screen of the computing device through which playback of the content item is presented, the viewport interface being configured to allow a user operating the computing device to virtually navigate the at least one scene by changing i) a direction of the viewport interface relative to the scene or ii) a zoom level of the viewport interface. A navigation indicator can be provided in the viewport interface, the navigation indicator being configured to visually indicate any changes to a respective direction and zoom level of the viewport interface during playback of the content item.

Systems and methods for presenting content

Display screen or portion thereof with animated graphical user interface

In one embodiment, a method includes sending information configured to render a virtual space on a display device associated with a first user, the virtual space comprising a virtual room; receiving an input from a first user selecting a particular virtual object; calculating a score for a set of interactive-surface types, the score being based on a current context, wherein the current context is based on information associated with the virtual object; selecting, from the set of interactive-surface types, one of the interactive-surface types based on the selected interactive-surface type having a score greater than a threshold score; and sending information configured to render an interactive surface that is of the selected interactive-surface type.

In one embodiment, a method includes sending information configured to render a virtual space on a display device; receiving a first input from a first controller device, wherein the first controller device is associated with a first location on a body of a user; sending information configured to render a user interface comprising a menu of items, the menu of items comprising one or more interactive elements; receiving a second input from a second controller device, wherein the second controller device is associated with a second location on the body of the user, and wherein the second input indicates a selection of a particular interactive element; and sending information configured to render a response to the selection of the particular interactive element on a display device associated with the user.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving first visual information associated with at least a portion of a 360-degree perspective; determining that the first visual information is not sufficient to render a complete 360-degree perspective on a display device associated with a first user; receiving second visual information, wherein the second visual information comprises information configured to render a display of one or more videos from one or more second users; and sending rendering information, wherein the rendering information comprises information configured to render a unified 360-degree perspective on the display device, wherein: a first portion of the unified 360-degree perspective is based on the first visual information, and a second portion of the unified 360-degree perspective is based on the second visual information.

Display screen with transitional graphical user interface

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving first visual information associated with at least a portion of a 360-degree perspective; determining that the first visual information is not sufficient to render a complete 360-degree perspective on a display device associated with the first user; retrieving second visual information; and sending information configured to render a unified 360-degree perspective on the display device, wherein: a first portion of the unified 360-degree perspective is based on the first visual information, and a second portion of the unified 360-degree perspective is based on the second visual information.
