Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for improving virtual reality experience by optimizing spatial mapping coordination and device setup while maintaining up-to-date content and managing security. An augmented reality unit can map virtual reality content and assets related to a physical space in a virtual environment. The virtual reality content and assets can be cached in a storage architecture and accessed by other augmented reality units, wherein the other augmented reality units can be in the same mapped physical space to utilize the cached content and assets generated by the first augmented reality unit, thereby eliminating the need for subsequent augmented reality units to map dimensions and objects in the same space. Similarly, updated contents and/or assets placed in a virtual environment by one augmented reality unit can be accessed by other augmented reality units. Various authentication techniques and security protocols can be implemented to grant access to credentialed augmented reality units.
