Virtual and augmented reality signatures

1. A method implemented on a visual computing device to authenticate one or more users, the method comprising:

using the visual computing device, receiving a first three-dimensional pattern from a first user;

sending the first three-dimensional pattern to a server computer;

at a time of user authentication, receiving a second three-dimensional pattern from the first user;

sending the second three-dimensional pattern to the server computer;

receiving an indication from the server computer as to whether the first three-dimensional pattern matches the second three-dimensional pattern within a margin of error;

when the first three-dimensional pattern matches the second three-dimensional pattern within the margin of error, authenticating the first user at the server computer;

when the first three-dimensional pattern does not match the second three-dimensional pattern within the margin of error, preventing authentication of the first user at the server computer;

receiving first additions to the first three-dimensional pattern from a second user;

modifying the first three-dimensional pattern based on the received first additions to create a third three-dimensional pattern; and

sending the third three-dimensional pattern to the server computer.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving hand gestures from the first user representing the first three-dimensional pattern and the second three-dimensional.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising receiving a plurality of line segments for the first three-dimensional pattern and the second three-dimensional pattern, at least two of the plurality of line segments being connected to each other.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising receiving at least one straight line segment and at least one curved line segment.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving hand gestures representing the first three-dimensional pattern that comprise a signature from the first user.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising receiving eye movements of the first user that are tracked and captured by the visual computing device, the eye movements being used to create the first three-dimensional pattern.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving one or more virtual objects, the one or more virtual objects being used to create the first three-dimensional pattern.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising receiving a rotation and/or resizing of the one or more virtual objects, the rotation and/or resizing of the one or more virtual objects being used to create the first three-dimensional pattern.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising receiving one or more virtual objects of one or more shapes of different sizes and complexities.

10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising adding one or more alphanumeric characters to one or more of the virtual objects.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising adding color to the first three-dimensional pattern.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, at the time of user authentication:

receiving second additions to the second three-dimensional pattern from the second user;

modifying the second three-dimensional pattern based on the received second additions to create a fourth three-dimensional pattern; and

sending the fourth three-dimensional pattern to the server computer.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising: when the third three-dimensional pattern matches the fourth three-dimensional pattern within the margin of error, permit both the first user and the second user to login to the server computer.
