Abstract:
1. A virtual reality system, comprising: at least one virtual reality environment user equipment (VUE) operative to capture and transmit real-world video and audio data and to display received virtual reality data representing an actual physical environment; at least one virtual reality environment core system (VCS), wherein: the core system is in communication with at least two virtual reality environment subscriber databases (VSD), one of which has a relatively local location and at least one of which has a relatively remote location; the virtual reality environment core system being in wireless communication with the at least one VUE, the core system being operative to access the relatively local VSD, to retrieve respective subscription information of the at least one VUE if the core system is a respective home core system of the at least one VUE, and to access at least one of the at least one relatively remotely located VSD to retrieve respective subscription information of the at least one VUE if the core system is a visited virtual reality core system relative to the at least one VUE; and a virtual reality environment episode management entity (VEME) which is in communication with the at least one virtual reality environment core system and is operative to forward the virtual reality data representing the environment to the at least one VUE and receive the real-world video and audio data from the at least one VUE, thereby facilitating a virtual reality episode.
