Virtual creation of real-world projects

A method for virtual collaborative creation of real-world projects, the method comprising:

• by a server system comprising one or more server computers:
• providing a persistent virtual world system including a replica editor and virtual replicas of real-world elements that are created using the replica editor;
• synchronizing the virtual replicas with the real-world elements using multi-source data captured by sensors of connected devices in communication with the server system;
• providing a collaborative creation platform stored in the server system, which enables creation of one or more virtual projects in the persistent virtual world system representing one or more real-world project proposals and enables voting on the one or more real-world project proposals;
• providing a collaborative tender platform stored in the server system, which enables providing one or more tenders to the one or more real-world project proposals;
• and
• providing a collaborative administrative platform in the server system, which enables reviewing, approving or rejecting, and allocating budgets for the one or more real-world project proposals.

A computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions configured to cause a server system to perform steps comprising:

• providing a persistent virtual world system including a replica editor and virtual replicas of real-world elements that are created using the replica editor;
• synchronizing the virtual replicas with the real-world elements using multi-source data captured by sensors of connected devices in communication with the server system;
• and
• providing a collaborative creation platform stored in the server system, which enables creation of one or more virtual projects in the persistent virtual world system representing one or more real-world project proposals.
