Abstract: Apparatus transmits an identifier for association with a virtual area by an administering network service, generates output data from human perceptible stimulus in a physical space, transmits the output data in connection with the virtual area, receives input data associated with the virtual area, and generates human perceptible stimulus in the physical space from the input data. A persistent association is created between the apparatus and a virtual area. A respective presence is established in the virtual area for a communicant operating a client network node connected to the virtual area. A respective connection between each active pair of complementary sources and sinks of the client network node and the apparatus are administered in association with the virtual area. A client network node displays a graphical user interface, establishes the administered connections, and presents interaction controls associated with the object for interacting with communicants in the physical space.

Abstract: Extended reality (XR) software application programs establish remote collaboration sessions in which a host device and one or more remote devices can interact. When initiating a remote collaboration session, an XR application in a host device determines a collaboration area. The collaboration area corresponds to a portion of a real-world environment that is shared by the host device with the one or more remote devices. In some embodiments, the collaboration area can be determined automatically and/or based on user input. The XR application causes sensors associated with the host device to scan the collaboration area. Then, the XR application transmits, to the one or more remote devices, a three-dimensional representation of the collaboration area for rendering in one or more remote XR environments.

Abstract: An electronic system, a method, and a computer program product generate an image stream with spherical background effects for multiple participants presented in a shared virtual venue during a video call. The method includes generating a composite image stream of the first foreground image superimposed at a first assigned location and a second foreground image superimposed at a second assigned location on a spherical background image. The method includes communicating the composite image stream to first and second electronic devices oriented to respective first and second vantage points associated with the first and second assigned locations of a virtual venue presented within the spherical background image. The method includes rotating the spherical background image relative to the first and the second vantage point presented to a respective display device of the first and the second electronic devices in relation to movement of a corresponding first participant and second participant.

Abstract: A device may receive video data that includes a text transcript, audio sequences, and image frames, and may detect a network fluctuation. The device may process the text transcript to generate a new phrase, and may generate a response phoneme based on the new phrase. The device may generate a text embedding based on the response phoneme, and may process the audio sequences to generate a target voice sequence. The device may generate an audio embedding based on the target voice sequence, and may process the image frames to generate a target image sequence. The device may generate an image embedding based on the target image sequence, and may combine the embeddings to generate an embedding input vector. The device may generate a final voice response and a final video based on the embedding input vector, and may provide the video data, the final voice response, and the final video.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a web-based videoconference system that allows for video avatars to navigate within the virtual environment. The system has a presented mode that allows for a presentation stream to be texture mapped to a presenter screen situated within the virtual environment. The relative left-right sound is adjusted to provide sense of an avatar's position in a virtual space. The sound is further adjusted based on the area where the avatar is located and where the virtual camera is located. Video stream quality is adjusted based on relative position in a virtual space. Three-dimensional modeling is available inside the virtual video conferencing environment.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for establishing one or more virtual sessions between users. For instance, a first device can transmit, to a second device, a call establishment request for a virtual representation call for a virtual session and can receive, from the second device, a call acceptance indicating acceptance of the call establishment request. The first device can transmit, to the second device, first mesh information for a first virtual representation of a first user of the first device and first mesh animation parameters for the first virtual representation. The first device can receive, from the second device, second mesh information for a second virtual representation of a second user of the second device and second mesh animation parameters for the second virtual representation. The first device can generate, based on the second mesh information and the second mesh animation parameters, the second virtual representation of the second user.

Abstract: Methods and systems described herein facilitate virtual interactions between users that more closely resemble their in-person counterparts. In particular, the methods and systems simulate in-person interactions in virtual environments through the use of complex spatial algorithms. For example, in some embodiments, the methods and systems provide avatar-based video conferencing systems in which avatars are connected by video/voice chat to any avatar based on one or more criteria.
