Systems for establishing and controlling access and privileges in a virtual reality computing environment based on authenticated identities

Abstract

Access control within a virtual reality computing system(s) is provided. Once a user requests entry into a virtual reality computing environment and their identity is verified (i.e., authenticating), access privileges are determined/assigned for the user that restrict or allow user access to virtual locations and/or virtual objects/avatars present in the virtual reality computing environment. In specific instances, the access privileges may be dynamically altered during the user's virtual reality computing session based on the user's interactions or other behaviors exhibited during the user's virtual reality computing session. As such the present invention provides necessary control over what areas of a virtual reality computing environment a user can access and/or which virtual objects/avatars a user can interact with.
