REAL TIME UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS INTERACTION OF A PREDEFINED LOCATION IN A VIRTUAL REALITY LOCATION

摘要

A virtual reality network provides access to a number of virtual reality representations, each virtual reality representation representing a location in a virtual universe and defined by VR data stored on the network. The VR data can be in a simplified data format. A database stores the network address and the location in the universe of each virtual reality representation. A database server provides access to the database. The database server generates a list of locations in response to a location query from a visitor, and provides the network address of the virtual reality representation of a selected location. A visitor connects to the database server with a client host to visit the locations in the virtual universe.

主权项

1. A system for enabling a visitor to access virtual reality (VR) representations authored by different authors of locations in a virtual universe via a computer network, the system comprising:
memory for storing a plurality of VR data sets, each VR data set defining a VR representation of a location, each VR data set defining a link to other visitors or to other third party data, each data set independently authored by a respective author different from the other authors; one or more VR data servers adapted to access and transmit the VR data sets, each VR data set associated with a VR data server for access to the VR data set; a domain server adapted to access and transmit domain data comprising the location within the universe of each VR representation and the network address of the VR data server associated with the VR representation; and a client host adapted to communicate with the domain server to receive domain data representing the network address of the VR data server associated with a selected VR representation, the client host further adapted to communicate with that VR data server to access the VR data set defining the VR representation without leaving the virtual universe, the host computer further adapted to connect to a social media cloud to establish either real-time or pseudo-real-time connections based upon any unified communications modality.
