Patent attributes
Techniques for creating more compelling augmented reality environments, and other computer-assisted experiences, are provided. In some embodiments, an augmented reality system, including a computer hardware- and software-based control system, controls a specialized headset and an array of sensors and actuators to produce an augmented environment with compelling display and social interaction features. In some embodiments, the augmented reality system creates and provides enhanced data access, permissions and experiences for users, based on different ratings of interactions between users. In some embodiments, a first such rating sets a level of access to gameplay leading to a second such rating. In some such embodiments, one user's experience related to another user is modified aesthetically, haptically or otherwise, depending on the levels granted by another user, among other factors.
