Method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for implementing an adaptive virtual reality safety system

A Virtual Reality (VR) device for implementing an adaptive VR safety system, the VR device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one of the one or more processors, cause at least one of the one or more processors to:
• execute a spatial risk warning routine, the spatial risk warning routine being configured to perform one or more warning actions based at least in part on a physical traversal by the VR device of one or more current spatial risk zones in a plurality of current spatial risk zones;
• identify spatial information corresponding to a user of the VR device, the spatial information comprising seat information corresponding to a seat of the user and occupancy information regarding one or more seats adjacent to the seat of the user;
• load a first risk profile corresponding to the spatial information, wherein the first risk profile defines a first plurality of spatial risk zones and wherein loading the first risk profile comprises setting the plurality of current spatial risk zones to the first plurality of spatial risk zones;
• receive a notification of a situational risk event in a plurality of situational risk events;
• and
• load a second risk profile corresponding to the spatial information and the situational risk event, wherein the second risk profile defines a second plurality of spatial risk zones different than the first plurality of spatial risk zones and wherein loading the second risk profile comprises setting the plurality of current spatial risk zones to the second plurality of spatial risk zones.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a Virtual Reality (VR) device, cause the VR device to:

• execute a spatial risk warning routine, the spatial risk warning routine being configured to perform one or more warning actions based at least in part on a physical traversal by the VR device of one or more current spatial risk zones in a plurality of current spatial risk zones;
• identify spatial information corresponding to a user of the VR device, the spatial information comprising seat information corresponding to a seat of the user and occupancy information regarding one or more seats adjacent to the seat of the user;
• load a first risk profile corresponding to the spatial information, wherein the first risk profile defines a first plurality of spatial risk zones and wherein loading the first risk profile comprises setting the plurality of current spatial risk zones to the first plurality of spatial risk zones;
• receive a notification of a situational risk event in a plurality of situational risk events;
• and
• load a second risk profile corresponding to the spatial information and the situational risk event, wherein the second risk profile defines a second plurality of spatial risk zones different than the first plurality of spatial risk zones and wherein loading the second risk profile comprises setting the plurality of current spatial risk zones to the second plurality of spatial risk zones.
