Filtering and Parental Control Methods for Restricting Visual Activity on a Head Mounted Display

A system for executing computer instructions for presenting an interactive environment in a head-mounted display, comprising:

• a head-mounted display configured to be worn by a user, wherein the head-mounted display has a display device;
• and
• a content processor coupled to the head-mounted display, wherein the content processor is configured to:
• identify an interactive object in the interactive environment, the interactive environment to be presented on the display device of the head-mounted display;
• determine whether content of the interactive object satisfies a threshold for presentation on the display device of the head-mounted display for the user;
• augment the interactive object after determining that the content of the interactive object does not satisfy the threshold for presentation to the user;
• and
• provide the augmented interactive object to be displayed on the display device of the head-mounted display for the user.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing program instructions for presenting an interactive environment in a head-mounted display, wherein execution of the program instructions by one or more processors of a computer system causes the one or more processors to carry out a plurality of operations of:

• identifying an interactive object in the interactive environment, the interactive environment to be presented on a display device of the head-mounted display worn by a user;
• determining whether content of the interactive object satisfies a threshold for presentation on the display device of the head-mounted display for the user;
• augmenting the interactive object after determining that the content of the interactive object does not satisfy the threshold for presentation to the user;
• and
• providing the augmented interactive object to be displayed on the head-mounted display for the user.
