Abstract: Techniques of generating a virtual environment in a virtual reality system involves changing, within a user interface of the second user, an attribute of an avatar representing the first user while maintaining a spatial position of an object with which the first user is interacting. In this way, the second user may see only non-threatening or otherwise pleasant avatars within their user interface while other users may not perceive any change to the virtual environment as displayed in their respective user interfaces.

Abstract: 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 selected is 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.

Abstract: Meetings held in virtual environments can allow participants to conveniently express emotions to a meeting organizer and/or other participants. The avatar representing a meeting participant can be enhanced to include an expression symbol selected by that participant. The participant can choose among a set of expression symbols offered for the meeting.
