Dynamic modification of virtual reality (vr) environment representations used in a vr collaboration session

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to:

• output, by the computer, a first virtual reality (VR) environment representation for display on a plurality of VR devices associated with a VR collaboration session, wherein each of the VR devices is used by a different participant of the VR collaboration session;
• analyze, by the computer, first inputs received from the participants to determine whether to output a second VR environment representation for display on the plurality of VR devices;
• determine, by the computer, based on the analysis, a second VR environment representation and a first transitional sequence for the VR devices to output while transitioning from displaying the first VR environment representation to displaying the second VR environment representation;
• output, by the computer, the second VR environment representation and the first transitional sequence for display on the VR devices;
• and
• in response to a determination that a first of the participants has performed a predetermined gesture, output, by the computer, a second transitional sequence for the VR devices to output while transitioning from the second VR environment representation back to the first VR environment representation.

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• logic integrated with the processor, executable by the processor, or integrated with and executable by the processor, the logic being configured to:
• output a first virtual reality (VR) environment representation for display on a plurality of VR devices associated with a VR collaboration session, wherein each of the VR devices is used by a different participant of the VR collaboration session;
• analyze first inputs received from the participants to determine whether to output a second VR environment representation for display on the plurality of VR devices;
• determine, based on the analysis, a second VR environment representation and a first transitional sequence for the VR devices to output while transitioning from displaying the first VR environment representation to displaying the second VR environment representation;
• output the second VR environment representation and the first transitional sequence for display on the VR devices;
• and
• in response to a determination that a first of the participants has performed a predetermined gesture, output a second transitional sequence for the VR devices to output while transitioning from the second VR environment representation back to the first VR environment representation.
