Embedding a trainer in virtual reality (VR) environment for real-time coaching, accountability and feedback

A method of spatially projecting a trainer into a three-dimensional (3D) virtual space rendered in a virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD), comprising:

• upon initiation of a VR session by a user located in a physical space, rendering a trainer within the virtual space, the trainer having been generated as Artificial Intelligence (AI) generated content;
• as the trainer actively participates in an interactive workout with the user, and responsive to a movement of the trainer, displaying an interaction element that represents a target location in the virtual space for a movement of the user, together with an associated interaction cue that represents a guide for movement of the user in the physical space with respect to the target location of the interaction element;
• upon receipt of data indicating user movement in the physical space that does correspond to the target location of the interaction element in the virtual space, updating a score;
• and
• upon receipt of data indicating user movement in the physical space that does not correspond to the target location of the interaction element in the virtual space, rendering additional trainer content in the VR session to provide feedback to the user.
