Abstract

Embodiments selectively present of virtual reality device content in response to the excitement of monitored persons. Thus, processors are configured to link a user's virtual reality system to a biometric sensor that acquires biometric data from a monitored person, wherein the virtual reality system is presenting immersive sensory content to the user, and the monitored person is viewing alternative content that is different from the immersive sensory content presented to the user. Processors configured according to the present invention determine whether the monitored person is currently in a threshold state of excitement as a function of biometric data acquired by the biometric sensor; and in response to determining that the monitored person is currently in the threshold state of excitement, automatically switch content presented by the virtual reality system to the user to the alternative content viewed by the monitored person.
