Abstract

A first avatar in a VR room can show a clickable image on its outer surface. Or it can wear a sandwich board showing clickable images. When a second avatar gets close to the first avatar, it can click the image, taking the second avatar to another room. The first avatar defines an off ramp from the first room, outside the control of the first room. An avatar can sing a link to another room. A listening avatar can decode the song and download the link and pick it, to go to the other room. A clickable link on an avatar can take both avatars to the same destination.
