1. A method comprising:
generating a virtual reality (VR) presentation comprising a plurality of ordered scenes, wherein the VR presentation comprises:
a first VR scene comprising a first set of VR objects capable of performing a first set of actions in the first VR scene during a first time span; and
a second VR scene, ordered after the first VR scene, comprising a second set of VR objects capable of performing a second set of actions in the second VR scene during a second time span;
displaying the first VR scene, wherein the first VR scene comprises a first portal;
determining that the first VR scene is still being viewed at the end of the first time span and after the first set of VR objects have performed the first set of actions and, in response, repeating the performance of the first set of actions by the first set of VR objects beginning from a start of the first VR scene at the beginning of the first time span; and
in response to a user interaction with the first portal, ending display of the first VR scene of the plurality of ordered scenes and beginning display of the second VR scene of the plurality of ordered scenes from the beginning of the second time span.
