Adaptive synchronization of objects in a distributed metaverse

A computer system comprising:

• a communication fabric;
• a set of computer-readable storage media connected to the communication fabric, wherein the set of computer-readable storage media collectively stores program instructions;
• and
• a set of processors connected to the communication fabric, wherein the set of processors executes the program instructions to:
• receive an indication that a user using a local client device entered a global metaverse comprised of a plurality of distributed interconnected local metaverses;
• generate a local metaverse corresponding to the user on the local client device in response to the user entering the global metaverse, the local metaverse corresponding to the user is one of the plurality of distributed interconnected local metaverses comprising the global metaverse;
• detect that an agent of the user is moving within a scene of the local metaverse corresponding to the user;
• detect that the agent of the user of the global metaverse is performing an action on an object within the scene of the local metaverse corresponding to the user while the agent is experiencing the object;
• store a state change in the object caused by the action performed by the agent of the user in a local cache of the local metaverse corresponding to the user;
• determine whether the action performed by the agent on the object is at least one of globally observable by other agents in the scene within other local metaverses or is an irreversible action that is permitted by one or more policies of the global metaverse for the object;
• and
• propagate, using a cache coherency protocol, the state change in the object caused by the action performed by the agent of the user in the local cache of the local metaverse corresponding to the user to caches of the plurality of distributed interconnected local metaverses of the global metaverse only in response to determining that the action performed by the agent on the object is at least one of globally observable by the other agents in the scene or is the irreversible action that is permitted by the one or more policies of the global metaverse for the object to decrease resource utilization, bandwidth utilization, and network communication by not propagating the state change globally to the caches of the plurality of distributed interconnected local metaverses until the state change was globally observable or irreversible thereby increasing system performance.

A computer program product comprising a set of computer-readable storage media having program instructions collectively stored therein, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to:

• receive an indication that a user using a local client device entered a global metaverse comprised of a plurality of distributed interconnected local metaverses;
• generate a local metaverse corresponding to the user on the local client device in response to the user entering the global metaverse, the local metaverse corresponding to the user is one of the plurality of distributed interconnected local metaverses comprising the global metaverse;
• detect that an agent of the user is moving within a scene of the local metaverse corresponding to the user;
• detect that the agent of the user of the global metaverse is performing an action on an object within the scene of the local metaverse corresponding to the user while the agent is experiencing the object;
• store a state change in the object caused by the action performed by the agent of the user in a local cache of the local metaverse corresponding to the user;
• determine whether the action performed by the agent on the object is at least one of globally observable by other agents in the scene within other local metaverses or is an irreversible action that is permitted by one or more policies of the global metaverse for the object;
