Virtual world system supporting a consumer experience

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor system that implements:
• a virtual store generator to present, in a three-dimensional (3D) environment, a 3D virtual store that includes a plurality of virtual objects, each respective object of the plurality of virtual objects associated with a respective item listing that has a respective mapping to a real-world source for a respective physical product;
• an application generator to:
• connect a first user of a plurality of users associated with the 3D virtual environment to an application associated with generating one or more tags for one or more objects in the plurality of virtual objects by connecting a first user application object associated with the first user to a main application object associated with managing the application;
• connect a second user of the plurality of users to the application by connecting a second user application object associated with the second user to the main application object;
• display, to the first user and the second user by using the first user application object, the second user application object, and the main application object, an image associated with one of the plurality of virtual objects;
• receive a first input of one or more keywords associated with the image from the first user and a second input of one or more keywords associated with the image from the second user;
• identify one or more keywords from the first input and the second input that match;
• and
• assign the one or more keywords that match as a tag corresponding to the one of the plurality of virtual objects associated with the image;
• and
• one or more server interfaces to:
• receive a search query from a third user of the plurality of users associated with the 3D virtual environment;
• cause display of, to the third user, search results that include the image in response to the search query matching the tag;
• communicate a signal that indicates the third user has interacted with the image;
• and
• re-direct the third user from the 3D virtual environment to a website corresponding to the real-world source for the respective physical product associated with the one of plurality of virtual objects based on the respective mapping.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that, responsive to execution by one or more processors of a machine, causes the machine to perform operations comprising:

• causing, in a three-dimensional (3D) virtual environment, presentation of a 3D virtual store that includes a plurality of virtual objects, each respective object of the plurality of virtual objects associated with a respective item listing that has a respective mapping to a real-world source for a respective physical product;
• connecting a first user of a plurality of users associated with the 3D virtual environment to an application associated with generating one or more tags for one or more objects of the plurality of virtual objects by connecting a first user application object associated with the first user to a main application object associated with managing the application;
• connecting a second user of the plurality of users to the application by connecting a second user application object associated with the second user to the main application object;
• causing display of, to the first user and the second user by using the first user application object, the second user application object, and the main application object, an image associated with one of the plurality of virtual objects;
• receiving a first input of one or more keywords associated with the image from the first user and a second input of one or more keywords associated with the image from the second user;
• identifying one or more keywords from the first input and the second input that match;
• assigning the one or more keywords that match as a tag corresponding to the one of the plurality of virtual objects associated with the image;
• receiving a search query from a third user of the plurality of users at the 3D virtual store;
• causing display of, to the third user, search results that include the image in response to the search query matching the tag;
• receiving a signal that indicates the third user has interacted with the image;
• and
• re-directing the third user from the 3D virtual environment to a website corresponding to the real-world source for the respective physical product associated with the one of plurality of virtual objects based on the respective mapping.
