Abstract

A method and apparatus for tracking distractions in a virtual reality environment is provided. In an embodiment, data identifying an area of interest is stored with a particular virtual reality application on a client computing device. The client computing device tracks a point of focus during execution of the application on the client computing device. In response to determining that the point of focus differs from the area of interest, the client computing device executes an application event.
