  • ENHANCEMENTS TO VIRTUAL OR AUGMENTED REALITY ENVIRONMENTS
    Publication number: 20230169734
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product enhance user interaction with a virtual or augmented environment. The method includes obtaining a user profile. The user profile includes a constraint of a user. The method also includes identifying a plurality of objects in the augmented reality environment. In addition, the method includes determining an intent of the user with respect to navigating the augmented reality environment. The method further includes calculating a probability of interaction between the user and an identified object based on the intent. Lastly, the method includes generating an enhancement threshold for each of the identified objects based on the probability of interaction and the constraint of the user.
