Claim:
1. A system for presenting virtual reality content to a user, the system comprising: one or more sensors that generate output signals conveying information related to a view direction of the user, the view direction of the user corresponding to a physical direction toward which the view of the user is directed, the view direction including a first view direction that corresponds to a first physical direction toward which the view of the user is directed and a second view direction that corresponds to a second physical direction toward which the view of the user is directed; a display that presents the virtual reality content to the user, wherein presentation of the virtual reality content via the display visually simulates presence of the user within a virtual space, the virtual space being fixed relative to physical space such that a view direction of the user dictates which portions of the virtual space are visible to the user, and wherein the presented virtual reality content corresponds to the view direction of the user, the virtual reality content comprising primary virtual reality content that is presented to the user within a first field of view, and secondary virtual reality content that is presented to the user within a second field of view, wherein the first field of view is fixed spatially within the virtual space so that the position of the first field of view in the virtual space is independent of the view direction of the user, and the second field of view is fixed spatially within the virtual space so that the position of the second field of view in the virtual space is independent of the view direction of the user such that the first field of view and the second field of view are part of the same virtual space and share a first field boundary that is fixed within the virtual space and independent of the view direction of the user; and one or more physical computer processors configured by computer readable instructions to:
