  • Publication number: 20240045493
    Abstract: A method of processing 3D virtual environment data. The method comprises, at a server: receiving, from a user terminal remote from the server, a request for one or more virtual content assets for use in populating one or more virtual content asset placeholders within a 3D virtual environment being executed on the user terminal; in response to receipt of the request, identifying, for each of the one of more virtual content asset placeholders, at least one virtual content asset that satisfies one or more rules associated with the respective virtual content asset placeholder or the at least one virtual content asset; and transmitting, to the user terminal, data associated with the identified one or more virtual content assets, the transmitted data being operable to cause the user terminal to populate the one or more virtual content asset placeholders in the 3D virtual environment currently being executed on the user terminal.

  • Patent number: 10588364
    Abstract: A glove device configured for one-handed engagement of a plurality of fingers of a user. The glove has a body having a plurality of covering sections extending from a first end to distal ends of the covering sections. Each covering section is configured for insertion of a finger of a user therein. The plurality of covering sections define members which elevate the first end of the glove above a support surface for distal ends of the covering sections. The glove device can be formed in stacks of adjacent glove device bodies where each has covering sections engaged within the axial cavities of another of the stack.
