Claims10
A system for transmitting information defining a state or location within a virtual reality environment to one or more recipients, comprising:
- a process for generating representations of a physical or imaginary multi-dimensional space that is responsive to a plurality of individual users requesting specific representations based upon a state, or location, within the space (hereinafter referred to as a virtual reality environment),
- a process for receiving requests from and distributing representations of a virtual reality environment to a plurality of individual users;
- a method for encoding state information sufficient to allow the virtual reality environment to generate a known representation;
- a method for transmitting such encoded state information to one or a plurality of recipients;
- a method for recipients to present such received state information to the controlling process of the virtual reality environment as parameter to a request for the corresponding representation encoded therein.
