Differential access in the metaverse
Differentiation of access within the metaverse. According to one aspect, a metaverse visualization of an environment is modified as viewed by an avatar upon access of the environment by another avatar. According to another aspect, access of an avatar to a restricted access environment within the metaverse enables trusted avatars selective access to the restricted access environment together with the avatar.
1. A computer system for regulating access within a metaverse, comprising:
one or more processors; and
non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoding instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computer system to:
when the computer system is operatively linked to a metaverse accessing device (MAD), create, with the MAD, a metaverse environment within the metaverse, the MAD being one of a virtual reality device or an augmented reality device, the metaverse environment providing restrictive access to avatars within the metaverse;
receive credentials from a first avatar; and
based on the credentials:
permit the first avatar to access the metaverse environment; and
modify a visualization of the metaverse environment for at least a second avatar positioned in the metaverse,
wherein the at least a second avatar is permitted access to the metaverse environment also based on a relationship of the at least a second avatar to the first avatar; and
wherein the relationship is encoded in the credentials.
2. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein modify the visualization of the metaverse environment includes to distort a visualization of an object within the metaverse environment.
3. The computer system of claim 2 , wherein the visualization of the object includes a safe deposit box.
4. The computer system of claim 1 ,
wherein the metaverse environment includes a visualization of an automated teller machine (ATM); and
wherein modify the visualization of the metaverse environment includes to modify the visualization of the ATM.
5. The computer system of claim 4 , wherein modify the visualization of the ATM includes to distort one or more lines of the visualization of the ATM.
6. The computer system of claim 1 , including further instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computer system to, based on the credentials, distort, for the second avatar, a visualization of the first avatar within the metaverse.
7. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the visualization of the metaverse environment includes a visualization of a branch of a financial institution.
8. A computer system for regulating access within a metaverse, comprising:
one or more processors; and
non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoding instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computer system to:
when the computer system is operatively linked to a metaverse accessing device (MAD), create, with the MAD, a metaverse environment within the metaverse, the MAD being one of a virtual reality device or an augmented reality device, the metaverse environment providing restrictive access to avatars within the metaverse;
receive credentials from a first avatar; and
based on the credentials:
permit the first avatar to access to the metaverse environment;
deny a second avatar access to the metaverse environment; and
permit a third avatar to access the metaverse environment,
wherein the third avatar is permitted access to the metaverse environment also based on a relationship of the third avatar to the first avatar; and
wherein the relationship is encoded in the credentials.
9. The computer system of claim 8 , including further instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computer system to, based on the credentials, deny the third avatar access to a first aspect of the metaverse environment that the first avatar is accessing within the metaverse environment.
10. The computer system of claim 9 , including further instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computer system to, based on the credentials, permit the third avatar to access a second aspect of the metaverse environment that the first avatar is accessing within the metaverse environment.
11. The computer system of claim 10 ,
wherein the first aspect is a balance amount in a bank account of the first avatar; and
wherein the second aspect is a currency withdrawal amount by the first avatar from an automated teller machine (ATM) within the metaverse environment.
12. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the first aspect includes contents of a safe deposit box of the first avatar.
13. A computer system for regulating access within a metaverse, comprising:
one or more processors; and
non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoding instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computer system to:
when the computer system is operatively linked to a metaverse accessing device (MAD), create, with the MAD, a metaverse environment within the metaverse, the MAD being one of a virtual reality device or an augmented reality device, the metaverse environment providing restrictive access to avatars within the metaverse;
receive credentials from a first avatar; and
based on the credentials:
permit the first avatar to access the metaverse environment;
modify a visualization of the metaverse environment for a second avatar positioned in the metaverse;
deny the second avatar access to the metaverse environment; and
permit a third avatar to access the metaverse environment,
wherein the third avatar is permitted access to the metaverse environment also based on a relationship of the third avatar to the first avatar; and
wherein the relationship is encoded in the credentials.
14. The computer system of claim 13 , including further instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computer system to, based on the credentials, disable, for the second avatar, a visualization of the first avatar within the metaverse.
15. The computer system of claim 13 , including further instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computer system to:
based on the credentials, deny the third avatar access to a first aspect of the metaverse environment that the first avatar is accessing within the metaverse environment; and
based on the credentials, permit the third avatar to access a second aspect of the metaverse environment that the first avatar is accessing within the metaverse environment.
16. The computer system of claim 15 ,
wherein the first aspect is a balance amount in a bank account of the first avatar; and
wherein the second aspect is a currency withdrawal amount by the first avatar from an automated teller machine (ATM) within the metaverse environment.
17. The computer system of claim 15 , wherein the first aspect includes contents of a safe deposit box of the first avatar.
