Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for a motion-synchronized virtual reality experience. In particular, in some embodiments, the invention includes a motion platform to impart a shared motion experience to a plurality of passengers, individual head-mounted displays providing for personalized viewpoints, and a variety of immersion-enhancements. A common ride model to controls the motion platform in order to simulate a ride for a plurality of passengers. The passengers' virtual-reality headsets depict the progress of the ride through the virtual-reality world. These headsets track the individual passenger's head or gaze to allow the user to adjust their angle of view in the virtual world simply by looking around. As such, different passengers can be looking in different directions simultaneously, allowing a much greater immersion than the single fixed perspective of prior ride simulations.

Abstract: A computer program, method, and system for providing a user access to content in response to an unprompted input or other triggering event at or on a user device. More particularly, the computer program, method, and system provide for the presentation of a masked access point to content. Upon the detection of an input by the user, if said input matches a predetermined access key, then the content is delivered to and/or retrieved by the user device.
