1. A system comprising:
a virtual world environment comprising:
a virtual activity tracker configured to obtain virtual activity performance data for an activity performed by a user in said virtual world environment; and
a virtual world database configured to store said virtual activity performance data in a virtual profile of said user;
a real world activity tracker configured to obtain real world activity performance data for a real world activity performed by said user and store said real world activity performance data in a real world data file, wherein said real world activity performance data is obtained as said user transports said real world activity tracker, said real world activity tracker providing said real world activity performance data to a product recommendation generator; and
a real world activity to virtual world activity convertor configured to
convert said real world activity performance data into an amount of converted virtual activity performance data; and
add said converted virtual activity performance data to said virtual profile of said user, wherein said virtual world environment further comprises:
said product recommendation generator configured to provide a recommendation for a real world product to said user, and
a product simulator configured to allow said user to virtually test said real world product recommended by said product recommendation generator.
