First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- displaying a virtual reality scene corresponding to a physical scene including a plurality of first objects, wherein the virtual reality scene is built from a plurality of images representing different views of the physical scene;
enabling a user to navigate within the virtual reality scene and observe the virtual reality scene from one or more perspectives of the different views;
displaying a selectable object within the virtual reality scene, one object of the plurality of first objects corresponding to the selectable object wherein the selectable object is built from a plurality of images of the one object taken from different respective angles;
in response to receiving a first selection of the selectable object, displaying the one object in a rotational view window, and enabling the user to observe the one object from a plurality of angles;
after receiving a second selection of the selectable object within the rotational view window, displaying a link to an actionable commerce application comprising a submission mechanism that allows the user to at least one of order and buy at least the one object of the plurality of first objects.

Abstract
A system and method for virtually displaying on-line a gallery, a showroom, a store, a mall or any other room or space and the objects contained in said room or space, wherein the data displayed is comprised of a virtual reality data packet. The system displays still photographs of virtual reality shots and textual materials, and plays virtual reality video clips and audio stories about the room and/or the objects contained therein. Links are associated with each object so that detailed information in graphical, video, audio and/or textual forms that are related to the object and are stored external to the virtual reality data packet can be retrieved on demand from an external database for presentation to the viewer. The system also provides on-line controls that enable the viewer to move around the space, and a feature that enables a viewer to view an object from 360° around the object.

10. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
displaying a virtual reality scene corresponding to a physical scene including a plurality of first objects, wherein the virtual reality scene is built from a plurality of images representing different views of the physical scene; enabling a user to navigate within the virtual reality scene and observe the virtual reality scene from one or more perspectives of the different views; displaying a selectable object within the virtual reality scene, the selectable object corresponding to one object of the first objects, wherein the selectable object is built from a plurality of images of the one object taken from different respective angles; upon receiving a selection of the selectable object, displaying the one object in a rotational view window, and enabling the user to observe the one object from a plurality of angles; and receiving a selection of the selectable object within the rotational view window, and displaying additional information related to the selectable object, wherein the additional information includes at least one of;
a link to buy the one object and a link to bid on the one object. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
displaying a virtual reality scene corresponding to a physical scene including a plurality of first objects, wherein the virtual reality scene is built from a plurality of images representing different views of the physical scene; enabling a user to navigate within the virtual reality scene and observe the virtual reality scene from one or more perspectives of the different views; displaying two or more selectable objects within the virtual reality scene, the two or more selectable objects comprising a first selectable object and a second selectable object, one first object of the plurality of first objects corresponding to the first selectable object, a second first object of the plurality of first objects corresponding to the second selectable object, wherein the first selectable object is built from a plurality of images of the one first object, and the second selectable object is built from a plurality of images of the second first object; receiving a selection of at least the first and second selectable objects during a virtual reality presentation; storing the selection, wherein the stored selection includes links to additional information regarding the first and second selectable objects; in response to receiving the selection, displaying the one first object and the second first object in a rotational view window, and enabling the user to observe the one first object and the second first object from a plurality of angles; and after receiving the selection, displaying a link to an actionable commerce application comprising a submission mechanism that allows the user to bid on the one first object and the second first object. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
