Hi Tim,
VR isn’t the technology that comprehends data per say — it’s primary function is to provide a visual representation of information. If you want to display information about someone’s gear then you will need a deep learning model that can use an aggregate of information to predict what it is being shown. I don’t have advanced programming knowledge about this topic but I’m pretty sure something like Lobe.ai will help get you started.
Good luck, hope this helps!
