1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

  • collecting, using biometric sensors, stress data associated with a user of a virtual reality device;

    determining a stress level of the user based on the stress data, wherein the stress level is a level of strain of the user;

    retrieving historical data of the user, wherein the historical data includes activities and scenarios within one or more historical virtual sessions of a simulation during a first time period and surrounding activity and historical user stress levels associated with the activities within the one or more historical virtual sessions, wherein the surrounding activity is within a surrounding environment during a first time period, wherein the surrounding environment comprises a geographic area containing both the user of the virtual reality device and real objects;

    monitoring a current environment of the user during a current virtual session, wherein the current environment is the surrounding environment during a second time period, wherein the second time period is subsequent to the first time period;

    identifying a safety hazard during the current virtual session based on the stress data and the current environment;

    determining, using the historical data, historical virtual scenarios that affect the historical user stress level or historical safety of the user; and

    generating, using the determined historical virtual scenarios, a safe virtual scenario to eliminate the safety hazard.
