Three-dimensional virtual environment

Abstract

Systems and methods of rendering a three-dimensional (3D) virtual environment rendering are disclosed. The system comprises a central processing device, a plurality of user devices in data communication with the central processing device, a plurality of application servers in data communication with the central processing device, and software executing on the central processor. The software creates and renders a 3D virtual environment, receives user data from each of the plurality of user devices, renders the user data received from each of the user devices in the 3D virtual environment, receives application data from each of the application servers, renders the application data received from each of the application servers in the 3D virtual environment, and outputs the rendered 3D virtual environment to each of the user devices. The 3D virtual environment serves as a direct user interface with the Internet by allowing users to visually navigate the world wide web.
