Abstract
Virtual environment function tags are generated for media to play or be consumed in a dynamic virtual environment. A media player in a virtual environment plays media and a computer rendering the virtual environment detects virtual environment function tags associated with the media and alters the virtual environment in response to the virtual environment function tags.
