Abstract
A system and method includes using a side simulation device for: receiving a scene description of a virtual world scene from a virtual world simulator, including a description of a special object that requires modification, and descriptions of other objects in an immediate vicinity of the special object; receiving a description of a desired modification to the special object; performing the modification of the special object to provide an enhanced special object such that the enhanced special object can be fully integrated with the other objects in the scene; transmitting the enhanced special object to a data store; and transmitting a proxy object signal to the simulator means to be placed in the virtual world scene to alert any viewers of the virtual world scene to refresh their view by adding the enhanced special object to their simulation by accessing the enhanced special object from the data store.
