Abstract
Method, system, and computer-readable program product for modifying at least one virtual activity capability of an avatar in a virtual reality setting based on a real-world physical activity metric of a user of the virtual reality setting. The user's physical activity metrics are tracked via a fitness tracker or other biometric sensor. As the user's physical activity metric(s) improve, the virtual activity capabilities of the user's avatar in the virtual reality setting also improve.
