Virtual world processing device and method

An apparatus for processing a virtual world to enable interoperability between the virtual world and a real world or interoperability between virtual worlds, the apparatus comprising:

• an input unit to be inputted with sensed information collected by a sensor from the real world;
• and
• an adapting unit to adapt the sensed information, based on sensor capability related to the sensor,
• wherein the sensed information comprises:
• group ID information that identifies an individual identity of a multi-sensor structure to which the sensor belongs,
• sensor ID reference information that identifies the sensor,
• linked list that denotes information on link data for grouping a plurality of sensors, and
• priority information of another sensed information sharing a same point at an adapting time of the sensed information, and
• wherein the sensor capability comprises:
• a maximum value and a minimum value of a parameter pertaining to the sensor,
• a number of levels measurable by the sensor, between the maximum value and the minimum value,
• a sensitivity representing a minimum limit of an input signal for generating an output signal, and
• an accuracy representing a degree of closeness of a measured quantity with respect to an actual value.
