I claim:
1. A method of enabling a user to navigate in a continuously evolving electronic virtual environment, the method comprising:
providing to the user a world model of the environment;
sending state changes of the world model representative of the evolving;
enabling the user to provide input for control of a position of an object relative to the virtual environment; and
creating the environment from the world model and in response to the state changes and the user input.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the evolving of the virtual environment is based on the state changes created through monitoring a real life event.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein the monitoring of the real life event comprises determining a change of a position of a real life object in the event.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the monitoring of the real life event comprises determining a change in velocity of the real life object.
5. The method of claim 3, wherein the monitoring of the real life event comprises determining a change in orientation of the real life object.
6. The method of claim 2, wherein the monitoring of a real life event comprises monitoring of a competitive event.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the monitoring of the competitive event comprises monitoring a real life object that comprises a real life participant in the competitive event.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein the sending of state changes comprises using the Internet.
9. The method of claim 1, comprising enabling the user to determine a graphics representation of at least part of the environment as provided by the world model.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method of forming a foamed preform including: forming a non-foamed preform by injecting and filling a molten resin imbibing an inert gas in a mold cavity while applying hold pressure in the mold cavity, and heating said non-foamed preform.
2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said molten resin is injected and filled in the mold cavity in which gas-pressure is maintained.
3. The method according to claim 1, wherein said hold pressure is applied by a degree of pressure such that the non-foamed state is maintained.
4. The method according to claim 1, wherein a portion of said non-foamed preform, which becomes a body portion of a container, is selectively heated to form a foamed preform.
5. The method according to claim 4, wherein a further part of the portion of said non-foamed preform that becomes the body portion of the container is selectively heated.
6. The method according to claim 1, wherein a nozzle of said foamed preform is left non-foamed.
7. A method of producing a stretched and foamed plastic container including:
blow-molding a foamed preform formed by the method according to claim 1.
