Abstract

The present invention contemplates a method of producing a walkabout reality for a user through an augmented reality engine. The augmented reality engine retrieves data associated with user behavioral characteristics and identifies user behavioral characteristics from user patterns of behavior in at least one of a third-party virtual environment and a current physical environment. The augmented reality engine further analyzes the current physical environment to determine one or more customizable elements of the current physical environment and determines a predicted visual preference of the user. The augmented reality engine identifies one or more visual elements associated with the predicted visual preference of the user and renders a virtualized current physical environment within a threshold distance of the user by superimposing at least one of the one or more visual elements associated with the third-party virtual environment onto the one or more determined features and associated feature characteristics.

Claims (12)

1. A method of producing a walkabout reality for a user, comprising:

retrieve data associated with recorded user patterns of behavior;

identifying user behavioral characteristics from recorded user patterns of behavior in at least one of a third-party virtual environment and a current physical environment;

analyzing the current physical environment to determine one or more customizable elements of the current physical environment;

determining a predicted visual preference of the user;

identifying one or more visual elements associated with the predicted visual preference of the user; and

rendering a virtualized current physical environment within a threshold distance of the user, wherein the rendered virtualized current physical environment superimposes at least one of the one or more visual elements associated with the third-party virtual environment onto the one or more determined features and associated feature characteristics.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein using the user-associated characteristics to select a theme and corresponding theme elements from a theme data store.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising applying the theme to produce a virtualization of a physical object within the current physical environment, and executing commands from the user to control an interaction between the avatar and the virtualized physical object.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising applying the theme to produce a virtualization of a physical object within the current physical environment, further comprises applying one or more auditory functionalities associated with a theme to the virtualized physical object.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising applying the theme to produce a virtualization of a physical object within the current physical environment, further comprises applying one or more haptic functionalities associated with a theme to the virtualized physical object.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising analyzing at least one of a user search history and a user purchase history to derive the user-associated characteristics.
