Abstract:
Embodiments described herein determine relative reputation scores for users of a VR environment, wherein each user is linked to another user via one, two, or more degrees of separation, or not at all. For each of a plurality of the users of the VR environment, information indicative of the user's impressions of one or more other users is obtained. Based thereon, individual-to-individual (I2I) reputations scores are determined, maintained, and used to determine relative reputation scores. For example, for a first user, there can be a determination of a relative reputation score associated with a second user, determined based on I2I reputation score(s) associated with the second user that were determined for one or more other users linked to both the first and second users. The relative reputation score associated with the second user can also based on an I2I score indicative of the first user's impression of the second user.

Claim (Index 16):
A system for supporting a computer implemented virtual reality (VR) environment in which users of the VR environment can explore the VR environment and interact with one another within the VR environment using client computing devices that are being used by the users, wherein each user of the VR environment is linked to another user in the VR environment via one, two, or more degrees of separation, or not at all, the system comprising:\n one or more processors configured to obtain, from each of a plurality of client devices being used by respective users of the VR environment, information indicative of the user's impressions of one or more other users of the VR environment; the one or more processors also configured to determine individual-to-individual (I2I) reputations scores, based on the obtained information, wherein each said I2I reputation score is indicative of a user's impression of another user of the VR environment; the one or more processors also configured to maintain a record of the I2I reputation scores; the one or more processors also configured to determine, for a first user of the VR environment, a relative reputation score associated with a second user of the VR environment, wherein the relative reputation score is determined based on one or more I2I reputation scores associated with the second user that were determined for other users that are linked to both the first user and the second user; and the one or more processors also configured to enable the first user of the VR environment to access, using the client computing device being used by the first user, the relative reputation score associated with the second user of the VR environment.
