Abstract

The invention relates to a method for detecting and evaluating user activities in virtual environments. According to the invention, the interactional and navigational behaviour of the user is detected by means of sensors (S) assigned to the virtual environment, is transferred to a server at freely definable distances, and stored as events in a data bank (DB). Each event is assigned a temporal, address-related, and local component, in addition to a component defining the event itself. As a result, a data bank is available on the server, in which events and the event data pertaining thereto are stored as user activities. A statistical evaluation of the virtual environment and/or individual objects or places in the virtual environment which are related to user activities can be carried out by means of an evaluation system (AS) assigned to the server.
