Abstract
The embodiments described herein provide technologies and techniques for using available data (from a variety of data sources) to provide an integrated and virtual reality experience. Embodiments described herein include systems and methods for acquiring flight information, wherein the flight information includes at least one of seating information regarding layout and availability of seats from one or more data sources, providing the flight information in a virtual reality environment, receiving, from a virtual reality device, a user's movements of an avatar in the virtual reality environment, wherein the avatar represents an individual having pre-stored information, determining, in the virtual reality environment, a position of the avatar with respect to a first seat zone surrounding a first available seat, and assigning the avatar to the first available seat in response to the virtual reality computing system receiving a deliver command when the avatar is in vicinity of the first seat zone surrounding the first available seat.
