Systems and methods for artificial intelligence-based virtual and augmented reality
Examples of the disclosure describe systems and methods for generating and displaying a virtual companion. In an example method, a first input from an environment of a user is received at a first time via a first sensor on a head-wearable device. An occurrence of an event in the environment is determined based on the first input. A second input from the user is received via a second sensor on the head-wearable device, and an emotional reaction of the user is identified based on the second input. An association is determined between the emotional reaction and the event. A view of the environment is presented at a second time later than the first time via a see-through display of the head-wearable device. A stimulus is presented at the second time via a virtual companion displayed via the see-through display, wherein the stimulus is determined based on the determined association between the emotional reaction and the event.
