Abstract

Disclosed are a virtual world processing device and method. By way of example, data collected from the real world is converted to binary form data which is then transmitted, or is converted to XML data, or the converted XML data is further converted to binary form data which is then transmitted, thereby allowing the data transmission rate to be increased and a low bandwidth to be used, and, in the case of a data-receiving adaptation RV engine, the complexity of the adaptation RV engine can be reduced as there is no need to include an XML parser.
