Adapting a virtual reality experience for a user based on a mood improvement score

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for adaptively generating a virtual reality experience, the instructions when executed by a processor causing the processor to perform steps including:

• storing, to an asset database, a plurality of digital assets and scores for each of the plurality of digital assets associated with a particular cohort of users, wherein the scores represent a predicted change in numerical mood responses occurring in the particular cohort of users in virtual reality experiences;
• obtaining user profile data associated with a target user of a media processing device;
• identifying that the target user is a member of the particular cohort in response to the target user having similar user data to a group of other users associated with the particular cohort;
• selecting a subset of the plurality of digital assets for inclusion in a virtual reality experience displayed at the media processing device based at least in part on the scores;
• generating a virtual reality experience that includes the selected subset of the plurality of digital assets for display at the media processing device;
• obtaining response data from the target user via the media processing device associated with the virtual reality experience, the response data indicative of a change in mood of the target user;
• and
• updating the scores for the subset of the plurality of digital assets and the user profile data based on the response data.
