Abstract

Claims (55)

1. A computer-implemented method for virtual reality (VR) based push notifications comprising:

pushing, by a computing device, a notification to a user-side computing device hosting a VR environment being utilized by a user and evaluating the notification;

evaluating, by the computing device, a plurality of electrical activity associated with a predicted sentiment of the user to the notification to determine at least one sentiment included in the notification and compatibility between the notification and the user-side computing device hosting the VR environment for the user;

mapping, by the computing device, a plurality of patterns of motions derived from the plurality of electrical activity to an avatar model; and

based on the evaluation, generating, by the computing device, a notification media content derived from the notification comprising an interactive notification avatar expressing the predicted sentiment based on the avatar model to be presented in the VR environment to the user.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein evaluating the notification comprises:

receiving, by the computing device, a plurality of parameters associated with the user; and

tagging, by the computing device, a plurality of metadata associated with the notification to the plurality of parameters;

wherein the interactive notification avatar is generated based on the plurality of metadata and the plurality of parameters.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein evaluating compatibility comprises:

analyzing, by the computing device, one or more of the computing resources and hardware capabilities of the user-side computing device; and

determining, by the computing device, if the user-side computing device is configured to embed the notification in the VR environment based on the analysis;

wherein the notification media content is multimedia generated and presented to the user in based on the determination indicating the user-side computing device is not configured to embed the notification in the VR environment.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein generating the interactive notification avatar comprises:

applying, by the computing device, natural language processing to detected text associated with the notification.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the interactive notification avatar emits audio derived from the natural language processing of the detected text to the user in the VR environment.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein evaluating the notification comprises:

utilizing, by the computing device, one or more machine learning algorithms to predict a category classification associated with the notification;

assigning, by the computing device, the category classification to future push notifications including relevant or similar content of the notification.

7. A computer program product for virtual reality (VR) based push notifications, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions being executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

pushing a notification to a user-side computing device hosting a VR environment being utilized by a user and evaluating the notification;

evaluating a plurality of electrical activity associated with a predicted sentiment of the user to the notification to determine at least one sentiment included in the notification and compatibility between the notification and the user-side computing device hosting the VR environment for the user;

mapping a plurality of patterns of motions derived from the plurality of electrical activity to an avatar model; and

based on the evaluation, generating a notification media content derived from the notification comprising an interactive notification avatar expressing the predicted sentiment based on the avatar model to be presented in the VR environment to the user.

8. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein evaluating the notification comprises:

receiving a plurality of parameters associated with the user; and

tagging a plurality of metadata associated with the notification to the plurality of parameters;

wherein the interactive notification avatar is generated based on the plurality of metadata and the plurality of parameters.

9. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein evaluating compatibility comprises:

analyzing one or more of the computing resources and hardware capabilities of the user-side computing device; and

determining, by the computing device, if the user-side computing device is configured to embed the notification in the VR environment based on the analysis;

wherein the notification media content is multimedia generated and presented to the user based on the determination indicating the user-side computing device is not configured to embed the notification in the VR environment.

10. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein generating the interactive notification avatar comprises:

applying natural language processing to detected text associated with the notification.

11. The computer program product of claim 10 , wherein the interactive notification avatar emits audio derived from the natural language processing of the detected text to the user in the VR environment.

12. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein evaluating the notification comprises:

utilizing one or more machine learning algorithms to predict a category classification associated with the notification;

assigning the category classification to future push notifications including relevant or similar content of the notification.

13. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory, wherein the memory comprises instructions that when executed by the processor causes the processor to perform a method comprising:

pushing a notification to a user-side computing device hosting a VR environment being utilized by a user and evaluating the notification;

evaluating a plurality of electrical activity associated with a predicted sentiment of the user to the notification to determine at least one sentiment included in the notification and compatibility between the notification and the user-side computing device hosting the VR environment for the user;

mapping a plurality of patterns of motions derived from the plurality of electrical activity to an avatar model; and

based on the evaluation, generating a notification media content derived from the notification comprising an interactive notification avatar expressing the predicted sentiment based on the avatar model to be presented in the VR environment to the user.

14. The system of claim 5 , wherein evaluating the notification comprises:

receiving a plurality of parameters associated with the user; and

tagging a plurality of metadata associated with the notification to the plurality of parameters;

wherein the interactive notification avatar is generated based on the plurality of metadata and the plurality of parameters.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein evaluating compatibility comprises:

analyzing one or more of the computing resources and hardware capabilities of the user-side computing device; and

determining if the user-side computing device is configured to embed the notification in the VR environment based on the analysis;

wherein the notification media content is multimedia generated and presented to the user based on the determination indicating the user-side computing device is not configured to embed the notification in the VR environment.

16. The system of claim 5 , wherein generating the interactive notification avatar comprises: applying natural language processing to detected text associated with the notification.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the interactive notification avatar emits audio derived from the natural language processing of the detected text to the user in the VR environment.
