System and method for augmented and virtual reality
First Claim
1. A system for enabling at least one user to interact within a virtual world comprising virtual world data, comprising:
- a computer network comprising one or more computing devices, the one or more computing devices comprising memory, processing circuitry, and software stored at least in part in the memory and executable by the processing circuitry to process at least a portion of the virtual world data; and
a first user device, configured to be operated by a first user, comprising an environment-sensing system and a user-sensing system,wherein the first user device is operatively coupled to the computer network,wherein the environment-sensing system is configured to capture a local environment audio input,wherein the user-sensing system is configured to capture a user audio input from the first user,wherein at least a first portion of the virtual world data is the local environment audio input,wherein at least a second portion of the virtual world data is the user audio input from the first user;
wherein the virtual world further comprises a visual rendering by at least one of the computer servers or the one or more computing devices; and
wherein the visual rendering of the virtual world is presented in a three-dimensional format.

Abstract
One embodiment is directed to a system for enabling two or more users to interact within a virtual world comprising virtual world data, comprising a computer network comprising one or more computing devices, the one or more computing devices comprising memory, processing circuitry, and software stored at least in part in the memory and executable by the processing circuitry to process at least a portion of the virtual world data; wherein at least a first portion of the virtual world data originates from a first user virtual world local to a first user, and wherein the computer network is operable to transmit the first portion to a user device for presentation to a second user, such that the second user may experience the first portion from the location of the second user, such that aspects of the first user virtual world are effectively passed to the second user.

11. A system for enabling at least one user to interact with a virtual world comprising virtual world data, comprising:
-
a first user device operatively coupled to a computer network, the computer network comprising one or more computing devices, the one or more computing devices comprising memory, processing circuitry, and software stored at least in part in the memory and executable by the processing circuitry to process a first portion of the virtual world data; a user-sensing system operatively coupled to the first user device and configured to capture at least a first input from a first user, wherein the user-sensing system is configured to transmit the first input to the computer network; and an environment-sensing system operatively coupled to the first user device and configured to capture at least a second input from a local environment of the first user device, wherein the environment-sensing system is configured to transmit the second input to the computer network, wherein the computer network is configured to alter virtual world data based on at least one of the first input or the second input, wherein the first user device is configured to present virtual content to the first user based on altered virtual world data wherein the virtual world further comprises a visual rendering by at least one of the computer servers or the one or more computing devices; and wherein the visual rendering of the virtual world is presented in a three-dimensional format. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
