Creating shared virtual spaces

1. A computer-implemented method for creating shared virtual spaces, the method comprising:

providing a virtual space capable of being modified by multiple authorized users, the virtual space having an exterior perimeter defining an interior area, and the interior area having at least one volumetrically-mapped virtual item therein;

receiving a modification to the at least one volumetrically-mapped virtual item from a first authorized user of the multiple authorized users, wherein the at least one volumetrically-mapped virtual item is configured to be used as an anchor point, such that a location change of the at least one volumetrically-mapped virtual item re-orients the virtual space consistent with the location change; and

storing the modification of the at least one volumetrically-mapped virtual item in association with the virtual space.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a scan of the at least one volumetrically-mapped virtual item;

applying the received modification of the at least one volumetrically-mapped virtual item to the scan to create a modified scan; and

storing the modified scan in association with the virtual space.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a request from a second authorized user of the multiple authorized users to enter the virtual space;

providing the virtual space with the at least one volumetrically-mapped item having the modified scan applied thereto; and

permitting the second authorized user to enter the virtual space.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the second authorized user is permitted to enter the virtual space at a same time as the first authorized user.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the second authorized user is permitted to enter the virtual space at a different time than the first authorized user.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the virtual space is configured to be entered by the first authorized user from a first physical location, and wherein the virtual space is configured to be entered by the second authorized user from a second physical location that is different from the first physical location.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the virtual space is configured to be entered by at least a portion of the multiple authorized users from the same physical location.

8. A system configured for creating shared virtual spaces, the system comprising: one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:

generate a virtual space capable of being modified by multiple authorized users, the virtual space having an exterior perimeter defining an interior area, the interior area having at least one volumetrically-mapped virtual item therein;

receive a modification to the at least one volumetrically-mapped virtual item from a first authorized user of the multiple authorized users, wherein the at least one volumetrically-mapped virtual item is configured to be used as an anchor point, such that a location change of the at least one volumetrically-mapped virtual item re-orients the virtual space consistent with the location change; and

store the modification to the at least one volumetrically-mapped virtual item in association with the virtual space.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors further are configured by the machine-readable instructions to:

receive a scan of the at least one volumetrically-mapped virtual item;

apply the received modification of the at least one volumetrically-mapped virtual item to the scan to create a modified scan; and

store the modified scan in association with the bounded virtual space.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors further are configured by the machine-readable instructions to:

receive a request from a second authorized user of the multiple authorized users to enter the virtual space;

provide the virtual space with the at least one volumetrically-mapped item having the modified scan applied thereto; and

permit the second authorized user to enter the virtual space.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the second authorized user is permitted to enter the virtual space at a same time as the first authorized user.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the second authorized user is permitted to enter the virtual space at a different time than the first authorized user.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the virtual space is configured to be entered by the first authorized user from a first physical location, and wherein the virtual space is configured to be entered by the second authorized user from a second physical location that is different from the first physical location.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the virtual space is configured to be entered by at least a portion of the multiple authorized users from the same physical location.

15. A non-transient computer-readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon, the instructions being executable by one or more processors to perform a method for creating shared virtual spaces, the method comprising:

receiving a request to create a shared virtual space;

receiving input that describes a location of a virtual exterior perimeter around a physical space, the virtual exterior perimeter defining a virtual interior area;

generating the virtual exterior perimeter around the physical space;

receiving input that describes at least one physical item in the physical space;

volumetrically mapping the at least one physical item to create a virtual item in the virtual interior area, wherein the virtual item is configured to be used as an anchor point for the virtual space, such that a location change of the virtual item re-orients the virtual space consistent with the location change;

receiving identifications for a plurality of authorized users each of whom is authorized to modify the shared virtual space; and

creating the shared virtual space as the virtual interior area having the volumetrically-mapped item therein.

16. The computer storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a modification to the virtual item from a first user of the plurality of authorized users; and

storing the modification to the virtual item in association with the shared virtual space.

17. The computer storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a scan of the virtual item;

receiving the modification to the scan to create a modified scan; and

storing the modified scan of the virtual item in association with the shared virtual space.

18. The computer storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a request for a second authorized user of the plurality of authorized users to enter the shared virtual space;

providing the virtual space with the virtual item having the modification; and

permitting the second authorized user to enter the shared virtual space.
