System and method for the delivery of applications within a virtual environment

A method for delivering applications within a virtual environment, comprising:

• providing in memory of at least one cloud server computer at least one virtual environment, and an application module including one or more installed applications and corresponding application rules for multi-user interactions, wherein the application module is linked to and visible within the virtual environment;
• receiving a selection instruction from a virtual environment host;
• displaying and activating the one or more installed applications during a session of the virtual environment, enabling a user graphical representation of the virtual environment host and one or more participant user graphical representations within the virtual environment to interact with the one or more installed applications via the application module through corresponding client devices, wherein the application module is represented as a 2D screen or 3D volume application module graphical representation displaying content from the one or more installed applications to the user graphical representations in the virtual environment;
• receiving user interactions with the one or more installed applications;
• managing and processing the user interactions with the one or more installed applications according to the application rules for multi-user interactions in the application module;
• and
• forwarding the processed interactions to the client devices to establish a multi-user session enabling shared experiences according to the application rules.

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

• providing at least one virtual environment including an application module comprising one or more installed applications and corresponding application rules for multi-user interactions;
• receiving a selection instruction from a virtual environment host;
• displaying and activating the one or more installed applications during a session of the virtual environment, enabling a user graphical representation of the virtual environment host and one or more participant user graphical representations within the virtual environment to interact with the one or more installed applications via the application module through corresponding client devices, wherein the application module is represented as a 2D screen or 3D volume application module graphical representation displaying content from the one or more installed applications to the user graphical representations in the virtual environment;
• receiving user interactions with the one or more installed applications;
• managing and processing the user interactions with the one or more installed applications according to the application rules for multi-user interactions in the application module;
• and
• forwarding the processed interactions to the client devices to establish a multi-user session enabling shared experiences according to the application rules.
