Augmented reality simulation
A method may include rendering a first view of a three-dimensional (3-D) virtual scene comprising a view of first content being displayed on a virtual display device from a location in the 3-D virtual scene. The method may also include rendering a second view comprising one or more content objects. The second view may be rendered from the location in the 3-D virtual scene, and the second scene may include a view of the display device as would be seen through a pair of augmented-reality glasses that display the one or more content objects. The method may additionally include generating a composite view by combing the first view and the second view. The method may further include causing the composite view to be displayed on a virtual-reality headset.
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
rendering a first view of a three-dimensional (3-D) virtual scene from a point-of-view of a viewer in the 3-D virtual scene, the first view comprising a view of first content being displayed on a virtual display device;
rendering a second view comprising one or more content objects, wherein:
the second view is rendered from the same point-of-view of the viewer in the 3-D virtual scene; and
the second view comprises a view of the virtual display device as would be seen through a pair of augmented-reality glasses worn by the viewer that display the one or more content objects;
generating a composite view by combining the first view and the second view; and
causing the composite view to be displayed on a virtual-reality headset in a real-world environment.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the second view comprises a view of a virtual pair of augmented reality glasses.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more content objects interact with the first content being displayed on the virtual display device in the composite view.
8. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
rendering a first view of a three-dimensional (3-D) virtual scene from a point-of-view of a viewer in the 3-D virtual scene, the first view comprising a view of first content being displayed on a virtual display device;
rendering a second view comprising one or more content objects, wherein:
the second view is rendered from the same point-of-view of the viewer in the 3-D virtual scene; and
the second view comprises a view of the virtual display device as would be seen through a pair of augmented-reality glasses worn by the viewer that display the one or more content objects;
generating a composite view by combining the first view and the second view; and
causing the composite view to be displayed on a virtual-reality headset in a real-world environment.
9. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein:
the 3-D virtual scene comprises a virtual movie theater;
the first content comprises a movie generated at least in part from a rendered scene; and
the virtual display device comprises a virtual movie screen in the virtual movie theater displaying the movie.
10. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein:
the virtual-reality headset is located in a physical environment; and
the 3-D virtual scene is modeled after the physical environment.
11. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein:
the physical environment comprises a physical display device; and
the virtual display device is modeled after the physical display device.
12. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to perform further operations comprising:
determining a movement and orientation of the virtual-reality headset; and
altering the first view and the second view based on the movement and orientation of the virtual-reality headset.
13. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the second view comprises a view of a virtual pair of augmented reality glasses.
14. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the one or more content objects interact with the first content being displayed on the virtual display device in the composite view.
15. A system comprising:
one or more processors;
one or more memory devices comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
rendering a first view of a three-dimensional (3-D) virtual scene from a point-of-view of a viewer in the 3-D virtual scene, the first view comprising a view of first content being displayed on a virtual display device;
rendering a second view comprising one or more content objects, wherein:
the second view is rendered from the same point-of-view of the viewer in the 3-D virtual scene; and
the second view comprises a view of the virtual display device as would be seen through a pair of augmented-reality glasses worn by the viewer that display the one or more content objects;
generating a composite view by combining the first view and the second view; and
causing the composite view to be displayed on a virtual-reality headset in a real-world environment.
