Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 4:
5. A computing device of a computing infrastructure, the computing device comprises:
an interface;
a local memory; and
a processor operably coupled to the interface and the local memory, wherein the processor performs functions to:
interpret a request received via the interface for a requesting entity to access a set of learning objects pertaining to a common topic represented in a virtual reality environment to produce a set of requested learning object identifiers, wherein a multitude of license blocks of a blockchain of an object distributed ledger identifies valid licensees of an inventory of learning objects, wherein each learning object of the inventory of learning objects is associated with a unique learning object identifier;
determine whether a license smart contract for the set of learning objects associated with a non-fungible token (NFT) of the object distributed ledger affirms access by the requesting entity to the set of learning objects, wherein the license smart contract includes one or more of a learning object set identifier of the set of learning objects, an identifier of an affiliated lesson package, license terms, an effectiveness metric for the set of learning objects, an accreditation indicator for the set of learning objects, and at least one learning object owner identifier associated with the set of learning objects; and
when the access is affirmed:
generate the virtual reality environment utilizing a group of object representations in accordance with interaction information for at least some of the object representations of the group of object representations, wherein at least some of the object representations are associated with corresponding three dimensional (3-D) physical objects, wherein the interaction information includes 3-D models and position information for the at least some of the object representations of the group of object representations, wherein a first set of object representations of the group of object representations is associated with a first piece of information regarding the common topic, wherein a second set of object representations of the group of object representations is associated with a second piece of information regarding the common topic;
output, via the interface, the virtual reality environment to the requesting entity for interactive consumption;
generate a consumption block to indicate performance aspects of the interactive consumption; and
cause affiliation of the consumption block with the blockchain of the object distributed ledger associated with the NFT, wherein the processor causes affiliation of the consumption block with the blockchain of the object distributed ledger associated with the NFT by:
determining whether to indirectly or directly update the object distributed ledger;
when indirectly updating the object distributed ledger:
 issuing, via the interface, a blockchain update request to an object ledger computing device of the computing infrastructure serving as a blockchain node of the object distributed ledger, wherein the blockchain update request includes the consumption block; and
when directly updating the object distributed ledger:
 obtaining, via the interface, a copy of the object distributed ledger,
 hashing the consumption block utilizing a receiving public key of the object distributed ledger to produce a next transaction hash value,
 encrypting the next transaction hash value utilizing a private key of the computing device to produce a next transaction signature,
 generating a next block of the blockchain of the object distributed ledger to include the consumption block and the next transaction signature, and
 causing, via the interface, inclusion of the next block in the object distributed ledger.
