Color Modification of Objects in a Virtual Universe

A computer program product for modifying an object, said computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable medium;
• first program instructions for obtaining tracking data that identifies a location of a set of avatars in relation to a range of the object, wherein the range comprises a viewable field;
• second program instructions for calculating modified pixel color values (340) to form a modified color to form a modified color in response to detecting a condition for triggering modification of the object;
• third program instructions for modifying a color of the object to form the modified color when the location of the set of avatars is within the range of the object;
• and
• wherein said first, second, and third program instructions are stored on said computer readable medium.

A virtual universe grid computing system for cloning objects, the system comprising:

• a data structure storing a set of pixel color constraints;
• and
• a color controller, wherein the color controller obtains tracking data that identifies a location of the avatar in relation to a range of the object, wherein the range comprises a viewable field;
• calculates a modified pixel color values to form a modified color in response to detecting a condition for triggering modification of the object;
• and modifies a color of the object to form the modified color when the location of the set of avatars is within the range of the object.
