Live management of real world via a persistent virtual world system

A method comprising:

• providing in memory of a server system a database with structured data storing a persistent virtual world system comprising virtual replicas of real-world elements;
• synchronizing the virtual replicas with the respective real-world elements using dynamic data and static data from a plurality of connected elements connected to the server system via a network, the connected elements comprising sensing mechanisms configured to capture the dynamic data from the real-world elements;
• and
• managing events in the real world through the synchronized persistent virtual world system.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program configured to cause one or more processors to perform steps comprising:

• providing a database with structured data storing a persistent virtual world system comprising virtual replicas of real-world elements;
• synchronizing the virtual replicas with the respective real-world elements using dynamic and static data obtained from a plurality of connected elements connected to a server via a network, the connected elements comprising sensing mechanisms configured to capture the dynamic data from the real-world elements;
• and
• managing events in the real world through the synchronized persistent virtual world system.
