Abstract: Some implementations relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media to dynamically change an avatar body during runtime while an avatar associated with the avatar body is participating in a virtual experience. In some implementations, the method includes identifying a first avatar body having a first body cage, identifying a target avatar body having a target body cage, and performing an interpolation between the first body cage and the target body cage to obtain a second body cage corresponding to a second avatar body to provide a transformation of the first avatar body into the second avatar body. The avatar body can also be changed in a configuration environment. Changing the avatar body may involve interpolating between body cages of a pair of cages, or by directly manipulating the body cage of the avatar body.

Abstract: Override parameters for one or more of default parameters of a virtual entity are received. The override parameters are applied to the one or more default parameters to generate a modified virtual entity. The modified virtual entity is caused to be instantiated in one or more client applications while the one or more client applications are running.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to a method, a system, and an article for animating characters in a virtual environment. An example computer-implemented method can include: (a) generating a plurality of snapshots of a 3D mesh in an animation sequence, wherein each snapshot includes the 3D mesh in a distinct frame of the animation sequence, and wherein the animation sequence includes a loop; (b) assigning each frame of the animation sequence to one of a plurality of 3D virtual objects corresponding to the 3D mesh; (c) rendering a graphical image including the plurality of 3D virtual objects according to the assigned frames; (d) incrementing the assigned frame for each 3D virtual object to a next frame in the loop; and (e) repeating steps (c) and (d).

Abstract: A web browser for Internet access distinguishes between client users and supervisory users. Supervisory users are authorized to create and/or modify local content access settings to Internet resources that are stored in a local data structure and/or a remote data structure. Client users are prevented from accessing these local content access settings. When a client user logs on, the all-in-one environment retrieves the local content access settings and connects to a predetermined remote site to retrieve additional content access control information. Modules embedded within the all-in-one environment coordinate local and remote control access settings to provide regulation, in the form of control and/or screening of the Internet resources, of the content that the client user can access.

Abstract: A web browser for Internet access distinguishes between client users and supervisory users. Supervisory users are authorized to create or modify local content access settings to Internet resources that are stored in data structures. Client users are prevented from accessing these local content access settings. When a client user logs on, the local content access settings are retrieved from a local data structure and additional content access control information is retrieved from a remote data structure. Modules coordinate local and remote content access settings to regulate client access to Internet resources. Client access is readily modified through the setting of local content access settings by a local supervisor and by the selection of the remote site(s) contacted for additional content access control information. An interactive agent assists client users during Internet access.
