System and method for creating customized characters and selectively displaying them in an augmented or virtual reality display

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by one or more hardware processors of a computing component, the machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions to cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:

• receive, from a character provider device, multiple configurable digital characters;
• generate a customization interface comprising a selectable listing of the multiple configurable digital characters and multiple customization options for customizing a selected one of the multiple configurable digital characters;
• provide the customization interface to a character customizer device;
• receive, from the character customizer device, a selection of a first digital character, a first customization option from among the multiple customization options, and a first trigger condition that, upon satisfaction, causes the first digital character to be customized according to the first customization option;
• generate a first customization rule based on the first customization option and the first trigger condition;
• receive, from a user device, an indication that the first trigger condition has been satisfied;
• and
• transmit, to the user device, information that causes the first digital character to be instantiated on an electronic display and causes the first digital character to be customized according to the first customization rule.

A method for a computer device to store, program, and instantiate configurable digital characters on electronic displays, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the computer device from a character provider device, multiple configurable digital characters;
• generating, by the computer device, a customization interface comprising a selectable listing of the multiple configurable digital characters and multiple customization options for customizing a selected one of the multiple configurable digital characters;
• providing, by the computer device to a character customizer device, the customization interface;
• receiving, by the computer device from the character customizer device, a selection of a first digital character, a first customization option from among the multiple customization options, and a first trigger condition that, upon satisfaction, causes the first digital character to be customized according to the first customization option;
• generating, by the computer device, a first customization rule based on the first customization option and the first trigger condition;
• receiving, by the computer device from a user device, an indication that the first trigger condition has been satisfied;
• and
• transmitting, by the computer device to the user device, information that causes the first digital character to be instantiated on an electronic display and causes the first digital character to be customized according to the first customization rule.
