1. A method for generating content in a virtual reality environment, the method being generated by one or more computer systems including a computer server, the method comprising:

  • receiving, at the computer server, set information regarding a virtual set of a three-dimensional animated scene, wherein the set information includes virtual asset information representing a first virtual asset placed in the virtual set;

    receiving, at the computer server from a first user, view information regarding camera views into the virtual set, the view information being generated based on sensors associated with a first display device associated with the first user;

    rendering, at the computer server, a virtual reality environment including the virtual set based on the camera views;

    sending, from the computer server, the rendered virtual reality environment to the first display device associated with the first user for presenting the rendered virtual reality environment on the first display device;

    sending, from the computer server at a same time as the rendered virtual reality environment is sent to the first display device, image data of the rendered virtual reality environment perceived by the first user to a computing device for presenting the rendered virtual reality environment perceived by the first user on the computing device so that the first display device and the computing device are presenting a same virtual reality environment perceived by the first user in real time;

    receiving, at the computer server, input data indicating a first movement of the first virtual asset in the virtual set from the computing device;

    re-rendering, at the computer server, the virtual reality environment based on the input data indicating the first movement of the first virtual asset;

    sending, from the computer server, the re-rendered virtual reality environment to the first display device for presenting the first movement of the first virtual asset in the virtual reality environment to the first user; and

    replaying, from the computer server, the re-rendered virtual reality environment on a second display device by replacing the first virtual asset with a virtual object corresponding to the first virtual asset in the virtual set and simulating the first movement for the virtual object.
