Virtual reality interaction with 3d printing

A method for enabling a visitor to access VR representations authored by different authors of locations in a virtual universe via a computer network, the method comprising:

• providing a plurality of data servers and a domain server interconnected with the data servers, the data servers providing access to sets of VR data of virtual representations of locations within the universe, each set of VR data authored by a respective different author independently of the other authors, the VR data comprising 3D data, the domain server providing access to domain data for selecting the location to visit and the network address of the data server providing access to the VR data for the selected location;
• receiving data from the visitor representing a selected location in the universe;
• accessing the domain data in response to the received data and obtaining therefrom the network address of the data server that provides access to the VR data for the selected location;
• and
• transferring the VR data for the selected location from the data server to the visitor's computer for generation of a VR presentation of the selected location without leaving the virtual universe.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform a method for enabling a visitor to access VR representations authored by different authors of locations in a virtual universe via a computer network, the method comprising:

• providing a plurality of data servers and a domain server interconnected with the data servers, the data servers providing access to sets of VR data of virtual representations of locations within the universe, each set of VR data authored by a respective different author independently of the other authors, the VR data comprising 3D data, the domain server providing access to domain data for selecting the location to visit and the network address of the data server providing access to the VR data for the selected location;
