    "patent_abstract": "A computer-implemented method for correcting data to match user identity may include (i) receiving user input specifying an aspect of physical presentation of the user that does not match an authentic identity of the user, where the authentic identity of the user includes a realistic version of the user that reflects an internal self-image of the user, (ii) capturing, via a sensor, data of the user that includes the aspect of the physical presentation of the user, (iii) correcting the captured data of the user to portray a corrected version of the aspect that matches the authentic identity of the user, and (iv) storing the corrected data of the user that matches the authentic identity of the user instead of uncorrected data of the user that includes the aspect that does not match the authentic identity of the user. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.",
