Computer-generated interactive hybrid virtual environment for item placement based on familiarity

A computer system, comprising:

• one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:
• generating an interactive virtual environment, wherein the generated interactive virtual environment further comprises one or more virtual rooms and one or more virtual areas based on an environment familiar to a user;
• automatically identifying an item and a location of the item in the environment familiar to the user, and automatically correlating and associating the identified item with a corresponding location in the generated interactive virtual environment;
• based on the correlation and association of the identified item with the corresponding location in the generated interactive virtual environment, automatically identifying and retrieving different items having a determined similarity to the identified item from one or more other different virtual environments, wherein the automatically identifying and retrieving the different items further comprises integrating and leveraging the one or more other different virtual environments having different virtual stores and retrieving the different items from the different virtual stores, wherein the different virtual stores are associated with different virtual store providers;
• and
• automatically presenting the different items in the corresponding location of the generated interactive environment based on the determined similarity to the identified item and the location of the identified item in the environment familiar to the user, wherein automatically presenting the different items in the corresponding location of the generated interactive environment further comprises automatically presenting an option to select a specific virtual store associated with a particular item and corresponding to a specific virtual store provider, and in response to detecting user selection of the option, automatically switching virtually to the specific virtual store provided by the specific virtual store provider, wherein the specific virtual store includes other items by the specific virtual store provider.

A computer program product for automatically generating, correlating, and presenting visual content along with an audio stream associated with an audiobook, comprising:

• one or more tangible computer-readable storage devices and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible computer-readable storage devices, the program instructions executable by a processor, the program instructions comprising:
• generating an interactive virtual environment, wherein the generated interactive virtual environment further comprises one or more virtual rooms and one or more virtual areas based on an environment familiar to a user;
• automatically identifying an item and a location of the item in the environment familiar to the user, and automatically correlating and associating the identified item with a corresponding location in the generated interactive virtual environment;
• based on the correlation and association of the identified item with the corresponding location in the generated interactive virtual environment, automatically identifying and retrieving different items having a determined similarity to the identified item from one or more other different virtual environments, wherein the automatically identifying and retrieving the different items further comprises integrating and leveraging the one or more other different virtual environments having different virtual stores and retrieving the different items from the different virtual stores, wherein the different virtual stores are associated with different virtual store providers;
• and
• automatically presenting the different items in the corresponding location of the generated interactive environment based on the determined similarity to the identified item and the location of the identified item in the environment familiar to the user, wherein automatically presenting the different items in the corresponding location of the generated interactive environment further comprises automatically presenting an option to select a specific virtual store associated with a particular item and corresponding to a specific virtual store provider, and in response to detecting user selection of the option, automatically switching virtually to the specific virtual store provided by the specific virtual store provider, wherein the specific virtual store includes other items by the specific virtual store provider.
