METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSLATING A LEGACY WEB PAGE INTO A THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIRTUAL REALITY (VR) IMMERSIVE SPACE

1 . A computer implemented method of translating a legacy web page into a three-dimensional virtual reality (VR) immersive space, the method comprising:

inspecting the legacy web page;

extracting Document Object Model (DOM) elements from the legacy web page;

generating a corresponding three-dimensional VR immersive space;

placing DOM elements into the three-dimensional VR immersive space; and

virtually placing a user in the three-dimensional VR immersive space.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein placing DOM elements into the three-dimensional VR immersive space comprises sequentially iterating extraction of each DOM element, and placing such element on an element of the three-dimensional VR immersive space.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the extraction of each DOM element is extracted based on class of the DOM element.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein extracting DOM elements comprises inspecting a source for the legacy web page using a conventional web browser and locating particular DOM elements therein.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein extracting DOM elements comprises operating a site translation script.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein placing DOM elements into the three-dimensional VR immersive space comprises placing one or more video or image elements on a wall of the three-dimensional VR immersive space.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein extracting DOM elements comprises determining whether the DOM elements are associated with VR definition tags.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the definition tags comprise commenting to allow said VR definition tags to be ignored by legacy browsers.

9 . A system for translating a legacy web page into a three-dimensional virtual reality (VR) immersive space, the system comprising:

a database storing the legacy webpage; and

a processing unit in communication with the database, the processing unit executable to perform:

inspecting the legacy web page;

extracting Document Object Model (DOM) elements from the legacy web page;

generating a corresponding three-dimensional VR immersive space;

placing DOM elements into the three-dimensional VR immersive space; and

virtually placing a user in the three-dimensional VR immersive space.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein placing DOM elements into the three-dimensional VR immersive space comprises sequentially iterating extraction of each DOM element, and placing such element on an element of the 3D space.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the extraction of each DOM element is extracted based on class of the DOM element.

12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein extracting DOM elements comprises inspecting a source for the legacy web page using a conventional web browser and locating particular DOM elements therein.

13 . The system of claim 9 , wherein extracting DOM elements comprises operating a site translation script.

14 . The system of claim 9 , wherein placing DOM elements into the three-dimensional VR immersive space comprises placing one or more video or image elements on a wall of the three-dimensional VR immersive space.

15 . The system of claim 9 , wherein extracting DOM elements comprises determining whether the DOM elements are associated with specific definition tags.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the definition tags comprise commenting to allow said definition tags to be ignored by legacy browsers.
