[My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - An Immersive Virtual World]

Abstract

With advancements in virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud computing, the future of gaming is moving towards fully immersive experiences. However, most existing multiplayer online games lack the depth, scalability, and realism required for a truly persistent, interactive, and socially engaging world.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (MBDTF) is an all-encompassing, fully interactive virtual world inspired by Ready Player One’s “Oasis.” This system will allow players to explore, socialize, compete, and create within an expansive digital universe. By leveraging cloud computing, procedural generation, and AI-driven interactions, MBDTF will provide an unparalleled level of immersion while maintaining performance, scalability, and security.
