  • Publication number: 20130257686
    Abstract: In a first virtual reality device having a processor and a memory, a virtual reality environment is created. A first stream of tracking data for the virtual reality environment is provided to a first display device that is geographically proximate to the first virtual reality device. The first stream of tracking data for the virtual reality environment is provided to a network for a second virtual reality device. The second virtual reality device is geographically remote from the first virtual reality device. The tracking data includes six degrees of freedom tracking information represented by X,Y,Z Cartesian coordinates, thereby allowing a perspective in the virtual reality environment to be shared between the first virtual reality device and the second virtual reality device.
