Abstract

A metaverse dating system is disclosed with a first camera to capture an image of a dating prospect and a second camera to capture eye gazing; a processor coupled to the second camera to determine interest in the dating prospect, the processor coupled to the first camera to analyze prospect information including appearance and body shape therefrom, the processor comparing the interest and prospect information with prior likings; and a projector aimed at a retina, the projector providing information and recommendations on approaching the dating prospect.

Claims (33)

1. A system, comprising:

a first camera to capture an image of a dating prospect and a second camera to capture eye gazing;

a processor coupled to the second camera to determine interest in the dating prospect, the processor coupled to the first camera to analyze prospect information including appearance and body shape therefrom, the processor comparing the interest and prospect information with prior likings; and

a projector aimed at a retina, the projector providing information and recommendations on approaching the dating prospect.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor looks up interests based on social network and professional network postings.
