1. A method of enhancing creativity in an interactive online environment through a system, the method comprising:
- (a) providing a printer capable of three-dimensional printing;
(b) providing an interface between the printer and a computer system;
wherein the computer system comprises a processor and a computer-readable medium that stores instructions and the processor executes the instructions to perform the steps of;
(i) accessing an online environment in which a plurality of users interact;
(ii) receiving data relating to the online environment;
(iii) communicating data to the three-dimensional printer, wherein the communication includes instructing the three-dimensional printer to perform a function, receiving information from the three-dimensional printer relating to a digital object, and/or sending information from the online environment to the three-dimensional printer; and
(iv) receiving an input from a user;
(c) interacting by way of the computer system with the online environment to distribute information to the environment relating to a particular activity being executed by at least one of the plurality of users;
(d) creating one or more digital objects;
(e) printing one or more three-dimensional objects, wherein the one or more three-dimensional objects are created from;
(1) the one or more digital objects, (2) one or more objects obtained from the online environment, or (3) a combination of (1) and (2); and
(f) generating one or more digital representations of the one or more three-dimensional objects, wherein the one or more digital representations can be distributed to the plurality of users within the online environment.
