Interacting with real-world items and corresponding databases through a virtual twin reality

A method enabling updates of a database of real-world items via a virtual world system, the method comprising:

• providing at least one server of a cloud server computer system comprising at least one processor and memory storing a persistent virtual world system comprising one or more virtual objects including virtual data and models, the virtual objects comprising one or more of a virtual twin, a pure virtual object, or an application;
• providing at least one virtual object representing a store of real-world items;
• connecting, to the at least one virtual object representing the store, a database associated with the store;
• receiving, from a user device, interaction or transaction instructions related to one or more of the real-world items, wherein an interaction or transaction associated with the received instructions is performed in augmented or virtual reality through the persistent virtual world system;
• and
• updating the database based on the received instructions.

A computer-readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions configured to cause at least one server of a cloud server computer system comprising at least one processor and memory to perform steps comprising:

• storing a persistent virtual world system comprising one or more virtual objects including virtual data and models, the virtual objects comprising one or more of a virtual twin, a pure virtual object, or an application;
• providing at least one virtual object representing a store of real-world items;
• connecting, to the at least one virtual object representing the store, a database associated with the store;
• receiving, from a user device, interaction or transaction instructions related to one or more of the real-world items, wherein an interaction or transaction associated with the received instructions is performed in augmented or virtual reality through the persistent virtual world system;
• and
• updating the database based on the received instructions.
