Modular virtual reality environment

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

• read, by a proximity sensor, a user identifier from a near-field-communication chip of a computing device of a first user;
• based on the reading, determine that the first user has entered a first modular banking environment, the first modular banking environment including a set of physical components associated with banking functionality;
• perform facial recognition of the first user using information captured by a second sensor;
• configure the first modular banking environment based on stored preferences of the first user;
• authenticate the first user based on the user identifier and the facial recognition;
• within the first modular banking environment, present a virtual banking environment, via a virtual reality headset wearable device, to the first user;
• receive an input associated with a transaction request from the first user via the virtual reality headset wearable device in the first modular banking environment;
• transmit a command to the set of physical components based on the transaction request;
• facilitate the transaction by configuring the set of physical components according to the command;
• determine, based on the transaction request, that a second user is needed to complete the transaction request, wherein the second user is connected to a second modular banking environment;
• transmit a message within the second modular banking environment to the second user, wherein the message is a request to connect with the first user at the first modular banking environment;
• receive an acceptance from the second user;
• and
• in response to the acceptance:
• connect the second user with the first user;
• display a representation of the second user within the virtual banking environment at the first modular banking environment;
• and
• display a representation of the first user within the virtual banking environment at the second modular banking environment.

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a storage device comprising instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, configure the at least one processor to:
• read, by a proximity sensor, a user identifier from a near-field-communication chip of a computing device of a first user;
• based on the reading, determine that the first user has entered a first modular banking environment, the first modular banking environment including a set of physical components associated with banking functionality;
• perform facial recognition of the first user using information captured by a second sensor;
• configure the first modular banking environment based on stored preferences of the first user;
• authenticate the first user based on the user identifier and the facial recognition;
• within the first modular banking environment, present a virtual banking environment, via a virtual reality headset wearable device, to the first user;
• receive an input associated with a transaction request from the first user via the virtual reality headset wearable device in the first modular banking environment;
• transmit a command to the set of physical components based on the transaction request;
• facilitate the transaction by configuring the set of physical components according to the command;
• determine, based on the transaction request, that a second user is needed to complete the transaction request, wherein the second user is connected to a second modular banking environment;
• transmit a message within the second modular banking environment to the second user wherein the message is a request to connect with the first user at the first modular banking environment;
• receive an acceptance from the second user;
• and
• in response to the acceptance:
• connect the second user with the first user;
• display a representation of the second user within the virtual banking environment at the first modular banking environment;
• and
• display a representation of the first user within the virtual banking environment at the second modular banking environment.
