  • Publication number: 20230158405
    Abstract: A system for constructing an interactive virtual object in a virtual environment implemented in a computer. The virtual environment comprises a first virtual construction element carrying a first interactive behavior and a second virtual construction element not carrying the first interactive behavior. The first and second virtual construction elements are connectable to each other by means of a coupling mechanism to form a combined virtual object. The first virtual construction element imparts the first interactive behavior to the combined virtual object when the first and second construction elements are connected to each other. The virtual environment is further configured to allow the user to interact with the virtual environment in a plurality of operational modes of progressing complexity of interaction with the virtual environment.
