1. A system comprising:
a memory operable to store:
a user profile comprising a set of pre-authentication tokens, wherein each pre-authentication token is configured to authorize a user device associated with a user to perform an interaction with at least one entity associated with a plurality of physical locations in a real-world environment; and
a processor operably coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
access a virtual environment comprising a plurality of virtual operation areas, wherein each virtual operation area is configured to provide a corresponding interaction associated with an entity associated with one or more physical locations in the real-world environment;
receive an interaction request from the user device for an interaction session in the virtual environment;
determine, based on the interaction request, a set of virtual operation areas in the virtual environment;
generate a corresponding meta-profile associated with the user profile by mapping each pre-authentication token associated with the user device from the one or more corresponding physical locations to the corresponding virtual operation areas;
generate an avatar associated with the user device to conduct the interaction session;
associate the avatar to the meta-profile, the meta-profile comprising the set of pre-authentication tokens for the avatar to access the set of virtual operation areas;
identify a first pre-authentication token which is associated with the user device and corresponds to a first level virtual operation area in the set of the virtual operation areas; and
dynamically grant a first level authentication to the avatar to navigate into the first level virtual operation area.
