Abstract
Systems and methods disclosed provided a virtual reality experience, including: a set of motorized pads for coupling to feet of a user; a means of communication between the set of motorized pads and a computing environment operating a virtual reality headset; such that the set of motorized pads are configured to provide pressure on a user's feet as an avatar within a virtual environment traverses the environment. Systems and methods disclosed further provide a multiuser virtual reality experience. Systems and methods disclosed further provide a multiuser experience including generation of a common environment viewable in the virtual reality headsets; and recording a tour including audio data as the first user describes the common environment.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising instructions for causing one or more network servers to perform a method of operating a multiuser virtual or augmented reality environment, comprising:
- establishing communications between one or more network servers and a first virtual or augmented reality headset, the first virtual or augmented reality headset having a first virtual or augmented reality display and being coupled to a first user computing environment;
- establishing communications between the one or more network servers and a second virtual or augmented reality headset, the second virtual or augmented reality headset having a second virtual or augmented reality display and being coupled to a second user computing environment;
- and
- operating the one or more network servers using inputs from the first and second user computing environments to cause:
- a display of a common environment in the first virtual or augmented reality display;
- a display of the common environment in the second virtual or augmented reality display;
- a display of entries associated with a social networking page corresponding to a first user at least in the first virtual or augmented reality display;
- and
- a display of an asset corresponding to a selected entry among the entries, the asset displayed in the common environment, including in the first and the second virtual or augmented reality displays.
A virtual or augmented reality headset, comprising:
- a first virtual or augmented reality display, the first virtual or augmented reality display configured to be coupled to a first user computing environment;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions for causing the first user computing environment to:
- receive, from one or more network servers, common environment data, and display the common environment in the first virtual or augmented reality display;
- receive, from the one or more network servers, data from a different virtual or augmented reality headset that is also displaying a view of the common environment;
- receive, from the one or more network servers, data corresponding to entries associated with a social networking page of a user of the first virtual or augmented reality headset;
- display an indicator of the entries associated with the social networking page corresponding to the first user, at least in the first virtual or augmented reality display;
- and
- display a selected entry of the entries associated with the social networking page corresponding to the first user, in the first virtual or augmented reality display and in the different virtual or augmented reality display,
- wherein the common environment data and the selected entry are displayed on the first virtual or augmented reality display at substantially the same time they are displayed by the different virtual or augmented reality headset.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising instructions for causing a first user computing environment to perform a method, comprising:
- displaying a common environment in a first virtual or augmented reality display;
- communicating with one or more network servers, the one or more network servers configured to communicate with a plurality of other user computing environments;
- displaying entries associated with a social networking page corresponding to a first user in the first virtual or augmented reality display,
- wherein at least some of the other user computing environments are coupled to respective virtual or augmented reality displays, and wherein the other user computing environments are configured to display respective views of the common environment in the respective virtual or augmented reality displays, and wherein the other user computing environments are further configured to display the entries associated with the social networking page in the respective virtual or augmented reality displays or an indication of a selected one of the entries, the entry selected using the first user computing environment.
A system for operating a multiuser virtual or augmented reality environment, comprising:
- a first virtual or augmented reality display and a first virtual or augmented reality headset housing the first virtual or augmented reality display, the first virtual or augmented reality display configured to be coupled to a first user computing environment, the first user computing environment configured to communicate with one or more network servers;
- a second virtual or augmented reality display and a second virtual or augmented reality headset housing the second virtual or augmented reality display, the second virtual or augmented reality display configured to be coupled to a second user computing environment, the second user computing environment configured to communicate with the one or more network servers;
- a server non-transitory computer-readable medium within the one or more network servers, comprising instructions for causing the one or more network servers to perform a method comprising:
- establishing communications between the one or more network servers and the first user computing environment, and establishing communications between the one or more network servers and the second user computing environment;
- causing the display of a common environment in the first and second virtual or augmented reality displays;
- and
- causing the display of entries associated with a social networking page corresponding to the first user at least in the first virtual or augmented reality display, and causing the display of an indicator of a selected one of the entries in the first and second virtual or augmented reality displays.
