  • Patent number: 10715851
    Abstract: Methods and systems describe providing digitally rights managed audiovisual content in a virtual reality (VR) viewing experience. Audiovisual content may be requested from a content delivery network upon determining that a user of a VR device is associated with an unexpired ticket to access the audiovisual content. The content delivery network generates a playback manifest, which is used by a digital rights management subsystem of the VR device to locate and download the content. A decrypted version of the audiovisual content plays within a graphical processor unit memory, such that the content is displayed on a virtual screen for the user within a VR viewing experience without the application or third party applications having access to the audiovisual content.
