Abstract
A method for conducting a three dimensional (3D) video conference with multiple participants, the method may include (i) receiving, from a first participant and by software used to conduct the 3D video conference call, a request to see a second avatar that represents a second participant, within a representation of a virtual 3D environment displayed to the first participant during the 3D video conference; (ii) displaying the second avatar within the representation following a reception of (a) a first approval from the software to display the avatar within the representation, and (b) a second participant approval to display the avatar within the representation; and (iii) avoiding from displaying the second avatar within the representation until receiving the first approval and the second participant approval.
Claims22
A method for conducting a three dimensional (3D) video conference with multiple participants, the method comprises:
- receiving, from a first participant and by a processor comprising computer-executable instructions used to conduct the 3D video conference call, a request to see a second avatar that represents a second participant, within a representation of a virtual 3D environment displayed to the first participant during the 3D video conference;
- displaying the second avatar within the representation following a reception of (a) a first approval from the computer-executable instructions to display the avatar within the representation, and (b) a second participant approval to display the avatar within the representation;
- generating the second participant approval by the computer-executable instructions, based on one or more second participant avatar usage rules provided by the second participant, and requesting, by the computer-executable instructions and from the second participant, the second approval at an absence of the one or more second participant avatar usage rules;
- and
- avoiding from displaying the second avatar within the representation until receiving the first approval and the second participant approval.
A non-transitory computer readable medium for conducting a three dimensional (3D) video conference with multiple participants, the non-transitory computer readable medium that stores computer-executable instructions for:
- receiving, from a first participant and by the computer-executable instructions used to conduct the 3D video conference call, a request to see a second avatar that represents a second participant, within a representation of a virtual 3D environment displayed to the first participant during the 3D video conference;
- displaying the second avatar within the representation following a reception of (a) a first approval from the computer-executable instructions to display the avatar within the representation, and (b) a second participant approval to display the avatar within the representation;
- generating the second participant approval by the computer-executable instructions, based on one or more second participant avatar usage rules provided by the second participant, and requesting, by the computer-executable instructions and from the second participant, the second approval at an absence of the one or more second participant avatar usage rules;
- and
- avoiding from displaying the second avatar within the representation until receiving the first approval and the second participant approval.
