Virtual meeting facilitator

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

• receive input data from a plurality of artificial-reality systems used by participants to participate in a virtual meeting, the input data comprising audio data and sensor data corresponding to the participants while they are participating in the virtual meeting, wherein:
• the virtual meeting is represented in an artificial-reality environment comprising at least avatar representations of the participants of the virtual meeting and a virtual screen for displaying information relating to the virtual meeting;
• and
• a first participant of the virtual meeting sees the avatar representations of other participants of the virtual meeting and the virtual screen using a first artificial-reality system of the first participant;
• determine, based on the input data, meeting characteristics comprising both of (1) one or more individual behavioral characteristics for each of the participants and (2) one or more communal characteristics associated with the participants of the virtual meeting as a group;
• determine an action configured to improve at least one of the meeting characteristics according to one or more predetermined criteria, wherein the one or more predetermined criteria is identified based on a plurality of previous virtual meetings, and wherein the one or more predetermined criteria indicates a trigger condition to perform the action based on the at least one of the meeting characteristics;
• generate an instruction for performing the action in response to meeting the trigger condition;
• and
• send the instruction to one or more of the plurality of artificial-reality systems, wherein the instruction is configured to cause an application running on each of the plurality of artificial-reality systems that receives the instruction to convey a message through the virtual screen present in the artificial-reality environment and shared between the participants of the virtual meeting, the message being targeted to one or more particular participants interrupting the other participants in the virtual meeting.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and a non-transitory memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to:
• receive input data from a plurality of artificial-reality systems used by participants to participate in a virtual meeting, the input data comprising audio data and sensor data corresponding to the participants while they are participating in the virtual meeting, wherein:
• the virtual meeting is represented in an artificial-reality environment comprising at least avatar representations of the participants of the virtual meeting and a virtual screen for displaying information relating to the virtual meeting;
• and
• a first participant of the virtual meeting sees the avatar representations of other participants of the virtual meeting and the virtual screen using a first artificial-reality system of the first participant;
• determine, based on the input data, meeting characteristics comprising both of (1) one or more individual behavioral characteristics for each of the participants and (2) one or more communal characteristics associated with the participants of the virtual meeting as a group;
• determine an action configured to improve at least one of the meeting characteristics according to one or more predetermined criteria, wherein the one or more predetermined criteria is identified based on a plurality of previous virtual meetings, and wherein the one or more predetermined criteria indicates a trigger condition to perform the action based on the at least one of the meeting characteristics;
• generate an instruction for performing the action in response to meeting the trigger condition;
• and
• send the instruction to one or more of the plurality of artificial-reality systems, wherein the instruction is configured to cause an application running on each of the plurality of artificial-reality systems that receives the instruction to convey a message through the virtual screen present in the artificial-reality environment and shared between the participants of the virtual meeting, the message being targeted to one or more particular participants interrupting the other participants in the virtual meeting.
