Generating a virtual world in a virtual universe

A system configured for generating a virtual world in a virtual universe, the system comprising:

• one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
• generate virtual objects comprising object representations in a virtual world of a virtual universe;
• generate avatars comprising user representations of themselves in the virtual world, wherein a given avatar is associated with a specific user account in a centrally managed system;
• generate spatial containers within the virtual world, wherein the spatial containers comprise multiple virtual objects;
• and
• process transactions regarding the virtual objects between the avatars based on evaluations of rights sets associated with the virtual objects, wherein a given rights set comprises limited units of an ability to use, modify, and/or transact a virtual object.

A non-transient computer-readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon, the instructions being executable by one or more processors to perform a method for generating a virtual world in a virtual universe, the method comprising:

• generating virtual objects comprising object representations in a virtual world of a virtual universe, wherein a given virtual object cannot be inhabited by avatars;
• generating avatars comprising user representations of themselves in the virtual world, wherein a given avatar is associated with a specific user account in a centrally managed system;
• generating spatial containers within the virtual world, wherein the spatial containers comprise multiple virtual objects, and wherein a given spatial container can be inhabited by avatars;
• and
• processing transactions regarding the virtual objects between the avatars based on evaluations of rights sets associated with the virtual objects, wherein a given rights set comprises limited units of an ability to use, modify, and/or transact a virtual object.
