Abstract:
1. A method of modifying spaces of virtual universes, said method comprising: a computer displaying (i) an exterior view of a composite space of a virtual universe, said composite space consisting of a first space and additional space bordering the first space, wherein a closed exterior boundary of the composite space that surrounds the composite space is depicted in the displayed exterior view of the composite space as being totally within a first plane, and wherein a closed exterior boundary of the first space that surrounds the first space is depicted in the displayed exterior view of the composite space as being totally within the first plane and as separating the first space from the additional space and (ii) an initial interior view of only the first space, wherein the closed exterior boundary of the first space is depicted in the displayed initial interior view of only the first space as being totally within a second plane that is parallel to the first plane, and wherein the first space is displayed differently in the initial interior view than in the exterior view; said computer remapping the initial interior view of only the first space without changing the exterior view of the composite space, said remapping comprising changing a size of the first space in the initial interior view of only the first space; and said computer displaying the remapped interior view of the first space including displaying the closed exterior boundary of the first space.
