Systems and methods for enabling a visitor to access VR representations authored by different authors of images at different quality levels at various locations in a virtual universe via a computer network are provided. A plurality of data sets may be stored in memory. Each VR data set may define a VR representation of a location and may be independently authored by a respective author different from the other authors. In addition, each VR dataset may have a speed and quality metric to assist the visitors in an optimized experience. One or more VR data servers may access and transmit the VR data sets of various quality and speeds, each of which may be associated with a VR data server having access to the VR data set. A domain server may be adapted to access and transmit domain data comprising the location within the universe of each VR representation and the network address of the VR data server associated with the VR representation. Further, a client host may be adapted to communicate with the domain server to receive domain data representing the network address of the VR data server associated with a bets matched quality and speed VR representation and to communicate with that VR data server to access the VR data set defining the VR representation without leaving the virtual universe.
A system for enabling a visitor to access VR representations authored by different authors of images at different quality levels at various locations in a virtual universe via a computer network, the system comprising:
A method for enabling a visitor utilizing a computer to visit a selected location within a virtual reality universe using virtual reality data authored by different authors, the method comprising:
A virtual reality viewing system for viewing virtual locations in a virtual universe accessed through a computer network, the viewing system comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform a method for enabling a visitor utilizing a computer to visit a selected location within a virtual reality universe using virtual reality data authored by different authors, the method comprising:
