Red segments in outer ring 150 indicate a slower than normal Internet connection. Streaming may continue, but at a slower rate than normal. When there is no further data to display, virtual reality browser 20 may cease to navigate the virtual reality environment and inner circle 152 may be darkened.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système d'achats en réalité virtuelle compatible permettant de faire des achats via un réseau de communications tel que l'Internet. Ce système d'achats comporte un serveur fournissant à un client un contenu tridimensionnel interactif. Ce contenu peut représenter l'intérieur d'un magasin ou d'un centre commercial virtuel. L'utilisateur au client peut naviguer en temps réel dans le contenu tridimensionnel. Le client peut cliquer sur un article tridimensionnel l'intéressant et l'amener ou le faire glisser dans le chariot d'achats. Il est possible d'avoir un plan montrant la disposition de l'intérieur du magasin virtuel. On peut disposer d'une option de catégorie de produits permettant à l'utilisateur de localiser les produits dans diverses catégories. On peut disposer d'options de recherche permettant de rechercher des produits désirés. Une région des détails de produits peut être utilisée pour fournir de l'information complémentaire sur des produits sélectionnés. On peut disposer d'un petit film de présentation en images animées se rapportant à un produit lorsque l'utilisateur clique sur un produit dans la vue tridimensionnelle. Ce film peut se présenter sous la forme d'une image en rotation et en zoom du produit.
