Abstract: A method for providing a configurable virtual reality environment comprises receiving virtual reality world implementation data that describes locations of structures within a virtual reality world from a customer at an input interface. The virtual reality world implementation data is mapped to a physical plan describing a physical implementation of the structures within the virtual reality world using a mapping controller. The physical plan provides indexing and reference points with respect to the physical implementation of the structures in the virtual reality word enabling the physical plan to define the structures in the real world using the mapping controller. Configurable hardware components necessary to build the physical implementation of the structures in the virtual reality world are determined responsive to the physical plan and a listing of available configurable hardware using a parts list controller.

Abstract: A system for providing a configurable virtual reality environment model includes a plurality of wall panels that are removeably interconnectable with each other without a need for tools. A plurality of floor sections are removeably interconnectable without a need for tools and include a connection interface for removeably connecting the wall panels to the plurality of floor sections. The plurality of wall panels are configured to place physical walls in a location that corresponds to a virtual wall located within a virtual reality world such that when a virtual reality display shows the user touching a wall in the virtual reality world, the user feels the physical wall placed in the configurable virtual reality environment. At least one network accessible component associated with a portion of the plurality of wall panels provides tactile feedback to a user responsive to the user coming within a predetermined distance of a wall panel.

Abstract: A system for providing a virtual reality experience includes a display associated with a field of view of a user. A virtual reality system renders a virtual realty world responsive to a movement of the user and displays the rendered virtual reality world to a user through the display. A configurable virtual reality environment model may be configured to place physical walls in a location that corresponds to a virtual wall located within with virtual realty world such that when the display shows the user touching a wall in the virtual reality world, the user feels the physical wall placed in the configurable virtual reality environment.

Abstract: A system and method of removably attaching a flooring surface material to a subfloor. The subfloor may include a modular raised flooring system comprising a plurality of raised floor panels, and comprising a magnetic body, surface or underlayment material. The flooring surface material includes a magnetic attachment surface that holds the flooring surface material in place on the subfloor by magnetic attraction, but that allows removal for disassembly and/or replacement.
