System and method for presenting virtual reality content to a user based on body posture
First Claim
1. A system configured to present content to a user based on body posture, the system comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to generate output signals conveying information indicating a body posture of the user in physical space;
a display that presents the content to the user according to content modes that define the manner in which the content is presented to the user and/or the manner in which the user interacts with the content, wherein the content includes virtual reality content and/or augmented reality content such that presentation of the content via the display visually simulates presence of the user within a virtual space that is fixed relative to physical space and/or visually simulates virtual objects superimposed within a real world view of the physical space determined by a view direction of the user, the content comprising first content that is presented to the user according to a first content mode and second content that is presented to the user according to a second content mode, wherein the first content is presented to the user responsive to the body posture of the user corresponding to the first body posture, and the second content is presented to the user responsive to the body posture of the user changing from the first body posture to the second body posture; and
one or more physical computer processors configured by computer-readable instructions to;
determine the body posture of the user based on the output signals, the body posture representing a physical position of a body and/or one or more extremities of the user;
determine a content mode based on the body posture of the user;
effectuate presentation of the content to the user according to the content mode to facilitate a user experience between the user and the content based on the content mode, such that;
responsive to the body posture of the user corresponding to the first body posture, the first content mode is determined and the first content is presented to the user according to the first content mode; and
responsive to the body posture of the user changing to the second body posture, the content mode changes from the first content mode to the second content mode such that the second content is presented to the user according to the second content mode, wherein the second content mode has a different state of interactivity than the first content mode such that the second content mode facilitates a different level of interaction with the second content being presented to the user during the second content mode than a level of interaction with the first content during the first content mode.

Abstract
A system and/or method that uses a body posture of a user to determine and modulate a content mode of a virtual reality system. The content mode may define the manner in which virtual reality content is presented to the user and/or the manner in which the user interacts with the virtual reality content. The user'"'"'s body posture and/or a change in body posture may cause the content mode and/or the virtual reality content to change accordingly. In some implementations, primary content may be presented to the user according to a first content mode in response to the user sitting. Secondary virtual reality content may be presented to the user according to the second content mode in response to the user standing. As such, a user may initiate a change in the virtual reality content and/or the content mode by standing from a sitting posture and/or sitting from a standing posture.
