Cognitive rendering of inputs in virtual reality environments

A computer program product for cognitive rendering of inputs received by a virtual reality (VR) system, 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 executable by the VR system to cause the VR system to perform a method comprising:

• receiving sensor data from at least one sensor of the VR system, the sensor data corresponding to one or more behaviors exhibited by a user of the VR system;
• comparing, using a processor of the VR system, the sensor data to a predetermined list of expected behaviors;
• determining, using the processor, the sensor data identifies an unexpected behavior in response to determining, based on the comparison, the behavior is not one of the expected behaviors;
• analyzing, using the processor, the sensor data using one or more behavioral analyses to determine whether one or more events leading up to the unexpected behavior are predictive of the unexpected behavior occurring at a later point in time;
• in response to determining the one or more events leading up to the unexpected behavior are predictive of the unexpected behavior occurring at the later point in time, continuously monitoring input received by the VR system to detect a subsequent occurrence of a same or similar sequence of one or more events;
• in response to detecting the subsequent occurrence of the same or similar sequence of one or more events, comparing, using the processor, a total weight of the same or similar sequence of one or more events to a predetermined filtering threshold;
• and
• in response to determining the total weight of the same or similar sequence of one or more events is greater than the predetermined filtering threshold, ignoring one or more subsequent inputs received by the VR system so as to avoid rendering the one or more subsequent inputs received by the VR system.

A virtual reality (VR) system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• logic integrated with the processor, executable by the processor, or integrated with and executable by the processor, the logic being configured to:
• receive sensor data from at least one sensor of the VR system, the sensor data corresponding to one or more behaviors exhibited by a user of the VR system;
• compare the sensor data to a predetermined list of expected behaviors;
• determine the sensor data identifies an unexpected behavior in response to determining, based on the comparison, the behavior is not one of the expected behaviors;
• analyze the sensor data using one or more behavioral analyses to determine whether one or more events leading up to the unexpected behavior are predictive of the unexpected behavior occurring at a later point in time;
• in response to determining the one or more events leading up to the unexpected behavior are predictive of the unexpected behavior occurring at the later point in time, continuously monitor input received by the VR system to detect a subsequent occurrence of a same or similar sequence of one or more events;
• in response to detecting the subsequent occurrence of the same or similar sequence of one or more events, compare a total weight of the same or similar sequence of one or more events to a predetermined filtering threshold;
• and
• in response to determining the total weight of the same or similar sequence of one or more events is greater than the predetermined filtering threshold, ignore one or more subsequent inputs received by the VR system so as to avoid rendering the one or more subsequent inputs received by the VR system.
