Abstract
A virtual reality system including a virtual reality user device with a display that presents a virtual reality environment to a user, an electronic transfer engine, and a virtual overlay engine. The virtual reality user devices receives network component data and security data for a network components. The virtual reality user devices generates overlays the security data onto the network component data to generate a virtual overlay.
Claims20
A virtual reality system comprising:
- one or more databases comprising:
- network component data for a plurality of network components, the network component data comprising:
- network interconnections of the plurality of network components;
