Claim One:
1. A method comprising: recording a compressed stream of video data describing a scene using a camera array, the camera array including a set of camera modules that are configured to provide at least a 2× field of view overlap so that each pixel included in the scene is described by a subset of the compressed stream of video data captured by two different camera modules included in the set of camera modules; recording a stream of three-dimensional audio data associated with the scene using an array of soundfield microphones; generating virtual reality content based on the compressed stream of video data and the stream of three-dimensional audio data, wherein the virtual reality content depicts the scene; receiving viewing data that describes a location of a first user's gaze while viewing the virtual reality content; determining an object of interest to the first user in the virtual reality content based on the location of the first user's gaze; and performing an action in the social network related to the object of interest, wherein the action includes preventing disclosure of at least one of private and embarrassing information by: determining a category associated with the object of interest; comparing the category to a list of user-approved subject matter to determine whether the category is in the list, wherein the list of user-approved subject matter is subject matter that is not sensitive to the user; and responsive to the category being in the list, automatically generating a social network update that describes an interaction of the first user with the virtual reality content based on the viewing data.
