Abstract
Systems and methods for transporting physical objects from real physical life into virtual worlds. Briefly stated, the method includes receiving characteristic and structure data from an object constructed in the real world. The characteristic and structure data is obtained from the object using a plurality of sensors placed in the vicinity of the object to sense the characteristics and structure of the object. The characteristic and structure data of the object is used to produce code necessary to create an equivalent representation of the object in a virtual world.
