Abstract
Provided is a method, computer program product, and virtual reality system for mapping detected external stimuli to visual stimuli within a virtual reality simulation. A processor may detect an audio stimulus external to a virtual reality simulation. The processor may compare a noise level of the detected external audio stimulus to a threshold noise level relative to internal audio in the virtual reality simulation. The processor may identify, in response to determining that the noise level of the detected external audio stimulus is greater than the threshold noise level, a sound corresponding to the detected external audio stimulus. The processor may retrieve environmental factors of the virtual reality simulation. The processor may map the detected external audio stimulus to a visual stimulus in the virtual reality simulation based on the identified type of sound and the environmental factors. The processor may produce the visual stimulus in the virtual reality simulation.
