Patent ID: 8307308

Claim:
A method for populating assets in a particular virtual world environment, comprising: receiving, by a virtual world controller, an identifier of a detected interaction by a user within another world, separate from a particular virtual world environment accessible by the user, from a device that detects and reports user interactions within the another world, wherein the user is an individual user; identifying, by the virtual world controller, at least one particular trigger tag name assigned to the identifier of the detected interaction from among a plurality of separate detectable user interactions in a trigger tag database; identifying, by the virtual world controller, at least one particular asset class from among a plurality of asset classes specified with the particular trigger tag name within a particular trigger asset coupling from among at least one trigger asset coupling in a trigger asset coupling database; accessing, by the virtual world controller, at least one particular asset assigned to the at least one particular asset class in an asset class database; and rendering, by the virtual world controller, the at least one particular asset within the particular virtual world environment in a particular virtual location within the particular virtual world, wherein the particular virtual location is triggered by the particular trigger asset coupling, such that the detected interaction of the user within another world acts as an embedded trigger device for triggering rendering of the at least one particular asset in the particular virtual world environment.
