Claim 134:
135. A method of operating a multiuser virtual reality environment, comprising:
receiving, from one or more network servers, data about a common environment, the common environment having a backdrop or a background scene;
displaying a view of the common environment in the first virtual reality display;
receiving, from the one or more network servers, data associated with a second virtual reality headset having a second virtual reality display and associated with a second user computing environment;
receiving an indication that an invitation is to be sent to the second user computing environment, wherein the common environment is caused to be displayed in the second virtual reality display if the invitation is accepted, and wherein the displaying the view of the common environment in the first virtual reality display is at substantially the same time as causing the display of the view of the common environment in the second virtual reality display; and
receiving input from a pointing device coupled to the first user computing environment, the receiving input allowing a user to point at and select a first asset displayed in the first virtual reality display or in the common environment, and based on the receiving input from the pointing device, displaying a teleport common environment associated with the first asset, the displaying of the teleport common environment in the first and second virtual reality displays, the teleport common environment having a different backdrop or background scene;
wherein a follow functionality is provided to allow the second virtual reality display to automatically follow the first virtual reality display as the first virtual reality display transitions from the common environment having the backdrop or background scene to the teleport common environment having the different backdrop or background scene.
