AUTHORIZATION OF VIRTUAL REALITY INTERACTIONS USING CONTROLLED RANDOMIZATION

摘要

Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to the use of controlled randomization in authorizing virtual reality interactions. More specifically, a user of a virtual reality (VR) device may seek to initiate an interaction within the virtual reality environment. In order for the interaction to be allowed for the user, a processing computer may need the user to supply an additional credential. In some cases, the user may enter the additional credential using a series of virtual keypads that are rendered in the virtual reality environment. These keypads may have varying layouts that are determined in a controlled manner (e.g., pseudo-randomly) using pre-determined mathematical procedures. The layout of a subsequent keypad may be partially based on the user's selection in a preceding keypad. The keypad positions for the user's selections may be provided to the processing computer to solve for the credential which can be used for validation purposes.
