Incorporating real world physical activity into a virtual world environment

A non-transitory computer usable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by at least one processor of a computer, cause said at least one processor to perform a method for converting real world activity into virtual world activity, said method comprising:

• obtaining, from a virtual world environment, virtual activity performance data for an activity performed by a user in said virtual world environment;
• storing said virtual activity performance data in a virtual profile of said user;
• receiving, from a real world activity tracker, real world activity performance data for a real world activity performed by said user, wherein said real world activity performance data is obtained as said user transports said real world activity tracker;
• converting said real world activity performance data into an amount of converted virtual activity performance data;
• and
• adding said converted virtual activity performance data to said virtual profile of said user and providing recommendations regarding a real world product for use by said user when performing said real world activity and wherein said real world product can be an appropriate component selection for improved performance of said real world activity.

A system to convert real world activity into virtual world activity, said system comprising:

• a virtual world environment comprising:
• a virtual activity tracker configured to obtain virtual activity performance data for an activity performed by a user in said virtual world environment;
• a virtual world database configured to store said virtual activity performance data in a virtual profile of said user;
• a product recommendation generator configured to provide a recommendation for a real world product to said user wherein said real world product is for use by said user when performing a real world activity;
• and
• a product simulator configured to allow said user to virtually test said real world product recommended by said product recommendation generator;
• a real world activity tracker configured to obtain real world activity performance data for said real world activity performed by said user and store said real world activity performance data in a real world data file, wherein said real world activity performance data is obtained as said user transports said real world activity tracker;
• a real world activity to virtual world activity convertor configured to:
• receive, from said real world activity tracker, said real world data file with said real world activity performance data;
• convert said real world activity performance data into an amount of converted virtual activity performance data;
• and
• add said converted virtual activity performance data to said virtual profile of said user;
• and
• a performance evaluator, said performance evaluator configured to compare said virtual activity performance data with said real world activity performance data and provide a performance review, based on said comparison, to said user in said virtual world environment.
