Techniques of conflict resolution in VR environments involve a VR server generating a conflict state when a virtual object in a VR environment is simultaneously manipulated by more than one user in the VR environment. When the virtual object is in a conflict state, the VR server shows each user their own manipulation. When conflict is resolved, the user whose proposed manipulation is not selectedis shown his/her manipulation being animated to the resolved state. In this way, each user sees a natural and cohesive view of the VR environment and remains immersed in that environment. Virtual objects do not suddenly disappear upon a manipulation and reappear elsewhere in a different form, but rather change in a continuous manner. VR环境中的冲突解决技术涉及在VR环境中的虚拟对象由所述VR环境中的一个以上的用户同时操纵时VR服务器生成冲突状态。当所述虚拟对象处于冲突状态时，所述VR服务器向每个用户示出他们自己的操纵。当冲突解决时，向所提出的操纵未被选择的所述用户示出其操纵被动画成已解决状态。通过这种方式，每个用户都看到所述VR环境的自然且连贯的视图，并且仍然沉浸在该环境中。虚拟对象在操纵时不会突然消失也不会以不同的形式重新出现在其它地方，而是以连续的方式改变。
