A system and method enabling two-way interactive operations of real-time 3D virtual replicas and real objects are described. The system includes a persistent virtual world system comprising a data structure in which at least one real-time 3D virtual replica of a real object is represented, which is stored and computed on a server; at least one corresponding real objects connected to the real-time 3D virtual replica via a network through the persistent virtual world system stored and computed on the server: and at least one user device connected to the real object via the network through the virtual world system stored and computed on the server. Virtually selecting and thereafter effecting changes on the real-time 3D virtual replica results in a real-time corresponding effect on the real object. Likewise, effecting one or more changes on the real object results in a real-time corresponding effect on the real-time 3D virtual replica.
