1. A method for manipulating depth-assigned content associated with a depth-enhanced virtual reality image, comprising: at a processor, receiving a depth-enhanced virtual reality image comprising a plurality of elements having different depth values; at the processor, receiving a depth-assigned content item, the depth-assigned content item being associated with the depth-enhanced virtual reality image and being assigned to a first depth value; at the processor, determining a focus depth for rendering of the depth-enhanced virtual reality image, wherein at least a first one of the elements has a depth that is closer to the focus depth than the depth of at least a second one of the elements; at the processor, determining whether to include the depth-assigned content item in rendering the depth-enhanced virtual reality image based on a determination as to whether the first depth value falls within a predetermined tolerance value of the determined focus depth; at an image rendering component, rendering the depth-enhanced virtual reality image so that the first element is more in focus than the second element; at the image rendering component: responsive to the determination indicating that the depth-assigned content item should be included, including the depth-assigned content item in the rendered depth-enhanced virtual reality image; responsive to the determination indicating that the depth-assigned content item should not be included, omitting the depth-assigned content item from the rendered depth-enhanced virtual reality image; and outputting the rendered depth-enhanced virtual reality image at an output device.
