Original Abstract Submitted

a computer-implemented method for determining if a player has reached a certain level of gameplay-performance while playing a game within a virtual reality, vr, environment. the player wears a headset having a display for viewing the vr environment and an object tracking system. the headset's object tracking system is capable of tracking movement of a portion of the player in 3-d space to establish an actual-response path by the player during gameplay. the method includes calculating, at a first time, an ideal-response path of gameplay for the tracked portion of the player in 3-d space. the ideal-response path is the path that will achieve the certain level of gameplay performance. the method then compares, at a second time, the actual-response path with the calculated ideal-response path, and finally indicates, in response to a match in the comparing step, that the play has reached a certain level of gameplay performance.
