Abstract: A system and method for enhancing the rendering of one or more objects based on payment and account options. The system includes a computer infrastructure configured to control enhancement rendering of an object in a virtual universe by providing at least one augmentation attribute to a tag of the object. The method includes providing enhancement rendering of an object in a virtual universe by augmenting the object based on a status of a user viewing the object.

Abstract: A solution for conducting a marketing activity is provided. Activities in a virtual environment are monitored and descriptions of a virtual object involved in the activities are collected. A tag may be assigned to the virtual object based on the characteristic of the activities and/or the descriptions of the virtual object. The tag may be used in marketing activities conducted in relation to the virtual environment.

Abstract: A method for browsing in a virtual environment includes generating a plurality of tag data collections from multiple tag data sources. A plurality of virtual online browsing modes are presented using a computer having data storage. A browsing mode is selected by a user, wherein the browsing mode specified includes tag data and preference data. The tag data collection is analyzed for tag data associated with the browsing mode data. At least one specified tag collection from the plurality of tag collections is generated using the selected browsing mode. Associated tag data is determined from the specified tag collection and a user's tag data. A tag data group is generated from the tag data collection analysis using the tag sets, and a three-dimensional virtual environment is generated and presented on the computer using the tag data group, which may present the user with a plurality of goods and/or services.

Abstract: A system, a method and a computer readable media for replicating virtual universe objects are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, the method includes determining a first set of VU objects associated with a first user. The method further includes determining replication priority values for the first set of VU objects utilizing predetermined priority value rules. Each VU object of the first set of VU objects has a replication priority value. The method further includes determining a second set of VU objects from the first set of VU objects based on the replication priority values associated with the first set of VU objects. The method further includes replicating the second set of VU objects from a primary VU computer server to a first device.

Abstract: Methods, devices and systems are provided for enabling virtual universe users to find and engage subject matter experts within a virtual universe by defining a virtual universe subject matter expert conduit within the virtual universe. A virtual universe user avatar engages the conduit and a user indicates a subject matter expert search term. A data storage is searched for a tag relevant to the search term, and an expert-avatar is identified and located through the relevant tag. The user is enabled to directly communicate with the identified expert-avatar through a conduit communication medium entirely within the virtual universe, without requiring the user to engage a resource outside of the virtual universe or without requiring the user to engage an interface outside of the virtual universe.
