Personalized Server-Based System for Building Virtual Environments

Abstract

A system for creating and operating virtual worlds has an Internet-connected server, and software executing on the Internet-connected server from a non-transitory physical medium. The software provides tools enabling creation of a new virtual world, including terrain and objects in the new virtual world, and a physics simulation engine providing simulation for movement of objects in the new virtual world created. The physics simulation engine has a default physics simulation mode wherein simulation approximates real-world physics, and at least one alternative simulation mode wherein simulation applies physics substantially different than real-world physics. Simulation may be switched between the default mode and the alternative mode.
