A platform can also include a user data integration module capable of integrating non platform based user information with its platform based counterpart. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An augmented reality based social platform comprising the computer implemented modules of: an avatar creation module for creating user based avatars which can be manipulated within the social platform, a map generation module for creating an augmented map of a real-world location, said map generation module capable of integrating platform user interactable objects with corresponding real-world objects, an auxiliary application integration module capable of integrating a non-platform based application with its platform based counterparts, and a commercial conversion module capable of spatially reserving area, surfaces, pathways, interactable objects or a combination thereof within the augmented map for exclusive usage rights of one, or a collection of, avatar(s). ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 1, further comprising a user data integration module capable of integrating non platform based user information with its platform based counterpart. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 1, wherein the map generation module includes a rough map of the earth, and wherein interactable objects make up a subset of real world objects. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 3, wherein the interactable objects are selected from: doors, doorways, windows, buildings, vehicles, machines and other inanimate objections. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 1, wherein non-platform based applications include non-platform based messaging and/or telecommunications applications, gaming applications and hardware specific software applications. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 1, wherein at least some of the specially reserved interactive objects of the commercial module correspond to the interactive objects of the real world map. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 6, wherein at least one of the corresponding interactive objects is a gateway to a commercial space within the platform but with no real world equivalent. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 7, wherein avatars are capable of traversing between the real-world based map and the commercial space seamlessly. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 8, wherein a user of the platform, while operating an avatar, is capable of seeing aspects of both the real world map and the commercial space simultaneously. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 1, wherein every user of the platform is presented the same information within the real world map. ### Claim 11 (depends on 2) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 2, wherein each user of the platform is presented information from the commercial module based on their unique user data. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 1, wherein information displayed from the commercial module to one user avatar is displayed to a plurality of other, unrelated avatars in the same geospatial area within the real-world based map. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 1, wherein information from the real-world based map, commercial module and information of a plurality of avatars are displayable on a users virtual reality headset. ### Claim 14 A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a set of computer implementable instructions for generating an augmented reality based social platform comprising an avatar creation module for creating user based avatars which can be manipulated within the social platform, a map generation module for creating an augmented map of a real-world location, said map generation module capable of integrating platform user interactable objects with corresponding real-world objects, an auxiliary application integration module capable of integrating a non-platform based application with its platform based counterparts, and a commercial conversion module capable of spatially reserving area, surfaces, pathways, interactable objects or a combination thereof within the augmented map for exclusive usage rights of one, or a collection of, avatar(s). ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 14, further comprising a user data integration module capable of integrating non-platform based user information with its platform based counterpart. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 14, wherein the map generation module includes a rough map of the earth, and wherein interactable objects make up a subset of real world objects. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 14, wherein at least some of the specially reserved interactive objects of the commercial module correspond to the interactive objects of the real world map. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 17, wherein at least one of the corresponding interactive objects is a gateway to a commercial space within the platform but with no real world equivalent. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 15, wherein each user of the platform is presented information from the commercial module based on their unique user data. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The augmented reality based social platform of claim 19, wherein information displayed from the commercial module to one user avatar is displayed to a plurality of other, unrelated avatars in the same geospatial area within the real-world based map.
