Abstract:
A virtual reality system is provided which allows a computer to take control of a user's avatar within a virtual environment whenever the avatar's user leaves the game. The computer follows prescribed instructions to control the avatar. A photosensor is provided within the user's VR headset to detect any ambient light reaching inside the headset, which indicates that the headset is not being worn by the user. In such instance, the computer converts the user's avatar to a substitute avatar within the virtual environment and begins to control the avatar until a prescribed time period has passed, or until the user returns to the game.

Claim (Index 14):
A method for controlling movement of a virtual avatar within a virtual environment during a virtual reality experience by a user, wherein said virtual environment is generated by a computer, said user controls said avatar by inputting control signals into said computer, said method comprising the steps of:\n controlling, by said user during a first time period, said avatar within said virtual environment, at a first level of skill; and controlling, by said computer during a second time period, said avatar within said virtual environment, at substantially said first level of skill, said second controlling step being in response to an indication of disengagement between said user and said control of said avatar within said virtual environment.
