Virtual world teleportation

摘要

The present invention is directed to teleporting avatars between disparate virtual worlds. A system is disclosed that includes a facility for creating a persona profile for an avatar in a first virtual world when the avatar wants to be teleported out of the first virtual world; a facility for transferring persona profiles to and from a disparate virtual world; and a facility for instantiating an inbound avatar based on a received persona profile. Persona profiles may include, e.g., rendering information, trait information, and inventory information.

主权项

1. A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium which when executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to teleport avatars between disparate virtual worlds, the program product comprising program code for:
creating a persona profile for an avatar in a first virtual world; transferring persona profiles to and from a disparate virtual world; instantiating an inbound avatar at the first virtual world from the disparate virtual world based on a received persona profile of the inbound avatar, wherein the received persona profile of the inbound avatar remains unchanged from a persona profile of an associated avatar in the disparate virtual world, and for disabling the associated avatar in the disparate virtual world; analyzing information in the received persona profile of the inbound avatar and automatically selecting a region in the first virtual world to locate the inbound avatar based on the analyzed information in the received persona profile of the inbound avatar; granting or denying the inbound avatar access to the first virtual world; and disabling the associated avatar in the disparate virtual world.
