Personalized VR controls and communications

A system for personalized controls and communications in virtual environments, the system comprising:

• memory that stores a virtual reality (VR) profile for a user, wherein the VR profile specifies a cue associated with custom instructions executable to modify one or more virtual elements;
• a communication interface that communicates over a communication network, wherein the communication interface receives data regarding an interactive session associated with a current virtual environment in which the user is participating via a user device;
• and
• a processor that executes instructions stored in memory, wherein the processor executes the instructions to:
• monitor the interactive session based on the VR profile stored for the user,
• detect that the cue specified by the VR profile is present in the monitored communication session, wherein the specified cue includes text from one or more other devices in the interactive session,
• generate voiceover audio based on the text in real-time,
• modify the virtual elements within a presentation of the current virtual environment provided to the user device in accordance with the executable instructions associated with the cue specified by the VR profile of the user, wherein the presentation is modified to include the voiceover audio generated in real-time based on content associated with the one or more other devices, and
• provide the modified presentation of the current virtual environment with generated voiceover audio to the user device.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium, having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform a method for personalized controls and communications in virtual environments, the method comprising:

• storing a virtual reality (VR) profile in memory for a user, wherein the VR profile specifies a cue associated with custom instructions executable to modify one or more virtual elements;
• monitoring an interactive session associated with a current virtual environment in which the user is participating via a user device, wherein monitoring the interactive session is based on the VR profile stored for the user;
• detecting that the cue specified by the VR profile is present in the monitored communication session, wherein the specified cue includes text from one or more other devices in the interactive session;
• generating voiceover audio based on the text in real-time;
• modifying the virtual elements within a presentation of the current virtual environment provided to the user device in accordance with the executable instructions associated with the cue specified by the VR profile of the user, wherein the presentation is modified to include the voiceover audio generated in real-time based on content associated with the one or more other devices;
• and
• providing the modified presentation of the current virtual environment with generated voiceover audio to the user device.
