Browser Enabled Switching Between Virtual Worlds in Artificial Reality - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240160337 titled 'Browser Enabled Switching Between Virtual Worlds in Artificial Reality

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a virtual web browser that allows access to multiple virtual worlds interchangeably by displaying browser tabs for corresponding website and virtual world pairs, along with associated controls that instantiate 3D content for the virtual worlds.

  • The virtual web browser allows users to easily switch between different virtual worlds by selecting the corresponding browser tab and control.
  • Tabs can be automatically generated based on interactions with objects in the virtual worlds, facilitating travel to specific worlds.

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in online gaming, virtual meetings, virtual events, and virtual training simulations.

Problems Solved

The technology solves the problem of seamlessly navigating between multiple virtual worlds and simplifying access to 3D content.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include enhanced user experience, improved navigation in virtual environments, and increased efficiency in accessing 3D content.

Potential Commercial Applications

A potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of virtual reality platforms for entertainment, education, and business purposes.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of virtual world browsers in online gaming platforms to access different game environments.

Unanswered Questions

How does the virtual web browser handle security and privacy concerns in accessing multiple virtual worlds?

The article does not address how the virtual web browser ensures the security and privacy of user data when interacting with various virtual worlds.

What are the system requirements for running the virtual web browser and accessing multiple virtual worlds simultaneously?

The article does not provide information on the hardware or software requirements needed to run the virtual web browser and access multiple virtual worlds interchangeably.


Original Abstract Submitted

methods and systems described herein are directed to a virtual web browser for providing access to multiple virtual worlds interchangeably. browser tabs for corresponding website and virtual world pairs can be displayed along with associated controls, the selection of such controls effecting the instantiation of 3d content for the virtual worlds. one or more of the tabs can be automatically generated as a result of interactions with objects in the virtual worlds, such that travel to a world, corresponding to an object to which an interaction was directed, is facilitated.
