Preventing Unauthorized Participation in Collaborative Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Meetings

A method comprising:

• at a computing platform comprising at least one processor, a communication interface, and memory:
• receiving, from a user device, a request to join an enhanced reality collaborative experience involving use of an avatar in one of:
• a virtual reality environment or an augmented reality environment;
• verifying an authorization channel for the user device;
• granting the user device access to the enhanced reality collaborative experience;
• receiving, from a biometric data collection device of a user of the user device, biometric information corresponding to the user;
• performing, using data collected by the user device and the biometric information corresponding to the user received from the biometric data collection device, anomaly detection to detect one or more anomalies in the avatar's participation in the enhanced reality collaborative experience from anticipated participation behaviors of a valid user of the avatar;
• and
• in response to detecting the one or more anomalies in the avatar's participation in the enhanced reality collaborative experience, performing one or more security actions for the enhanced reality collaborative experience.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by a computing platform comprising at least one processor, a communication interface, and memory, cause the computing platform to:

• receive, from a user device, a request to join an enhanced reality collaborative experience involving use of an avatar in one of:
• a virtual reality environment or an augmented reality environment;
• verify an authorization channel for the user device;
• grant the user device access to the enhanced reality collaborative experience;
• receive, from a biometric data collection device of a user of the user device, biometric information corresponding to the user;
• perform, using data collected by the user device and the biometric information corresponding to the user received from the biometric data collection device, anomaly detection to detect one or more anomalies in the avatar's participation in the enhanced reality collaborative experience from anticipated participation behaviors of a valid user of the avatar;
• and
• in response to detecting the one or more anomalies in the avatar's participation in the enhanced reality collaborative experience, perform one or more security actions for the enhanced reality collaborative experience.
