1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining tracking data corresponding to a plurality of users accessing a virtual reality environment, the tracking data including information associated with a plurality of movements performed by a first user in a physical environment;
modifying display data associated with the plurality of movements, in response to determining that the information is private; and
providing, in the virtual environment, the modified display data to a second user in the plurality of users, while displaying unmodified display data to the first user.

Abstract
Systems and methods are described that are configured to obtain tracking data corresponding to a plurality of users accessing a virtual reality environment. The tracking data may include information associated with a plurality of movements performed by a first user in a physical environment. The systems and methods may be configured to modify display data associated with the plurality of movements, in response to determining that the information is private, and provide, in the virtual environment, the modified display data to a second user in the plurality of users, while displaying unmodified display data to the first user.

9. A system comprising:
-
at least one electronic computing device generating a virtual reality experience in a virtual reality environment, the electronic computing device being portable within a physical environment; a plurality of sensors in communication with the at least one electronic computing device, the plurality of sensors configured to detect motion associated with a user accessing the at least one electronic computing device within the physical environment; and at least one processor configured to, enable network communication to be established with a plurality of users accessing a virtual reality environment, each user being associated with a head mounted display device and at least one computing device; track a plurality of movements performed in a physical environment, the plurality of movements being associated with at least one of the plurality of users providing input to the virtual reality environment; modify display data associated with the input, in response to determining that the input is private; and provide, in the virtual environment, the modified display data to users other than the at least one user while displaying unmodified display data to the at least one user. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
