Abstract

An intelligent VR (IVR) system receives a VR content item and automatically augments the VR content item with additional or ancillary content. The intelligent VR system initially identifies within the VR content item, valid textual and non-textual objects that have ancillary content associated therewith. The IVR system provides hotspots that signify presence of the ancillary content for the valid objects during a display of the VR content item. The hotspots and the ancillary content are positioned for display corresponding to pixel blocks including the valid objects. The ancillary content is selected for the hotspots based on a spatial and temporal extent of display of the valid objects. The hotspots with respective ancillary content items and the VR content item are streamed to a head mounted display (HMD) for display to a viewer.
