Abstract
Techniques for secure authentication in virtual reality are provided. A virtual reality application executing on a virtual reality device can provide virtual reality environment. The virtual reality application may communicate with a server that provides a plurality of objects for display in the VR environment. The environment can include an object that, once selected, may initiate an authentication process. Once initiated, an authentication application may be launched on the VR device, so that a private authentication environment may be provided to the user. The user may be prompted to provide a biometric sample using one or more input devices coupled to the VR device. The biometric sample can then be sent to the authentication server, so that an authentication result may be determined from a comparison of the sample to a biometric template established during registration.
