Apparatus and method for manipulating a virtual world by utilizing biometric information
First Claim
1. A virtual world processing apparatus for enabling interoperability between a virtual world and a real world or interoperability between virtual worlds, the virtual world processing apparatus comprising:
- an input configured to receive an input of sensed information sensed by a bio sensor, the sensed information relating to biometrics of a user in the real world; and
an adapter configured to adapt the sensed information in accordance with a sensor capability associated with the bio sensor;
a controller configured to control an experience within the virtual world based on the adapted sensed information,wherein the sensed information comprises linked list information indicating a link data structure element to group the bio sensor.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for processing a virtual world. According to certain embodiments of the present disclosure, real-world biometric information on the user may be collected using a bio sensor, and the collected information may be controlled based on the sensor characteristics of the bio sensor, thereby enabling interaction between the real world and the virtual world, as well as between virtual worlds. In addition, an interactive game which is executed in the virtual world on the basis of the collected biometric information may be controlled to thereby produce a virtual world having enhanced realism. Moreover, the real-world health status of a user may be determined and displayed on the basis of the collected biometric information, thereby enabling the health status of the user to be seen.
