Disclosed are systems, including client devices and servers, and methods for creating a collaborative virtual session between client devices, wherein each of the client devices is associable with a coupler agent for interfacing with a communicating entity (such as a person). A client device includes a processor and memory operable to: generate a locally instantiated virtual room; instantiate a virtual representation of a first entity associated with the client device in the locally instantiated virtual room; transmit metadata representative of the first entity to a second client device; receive metadata representative of a second entity associated with the second client device; and, instantiate a virtual representation of the second entity as a function of the received metadata, from a perspective of the first entity, in the locally instantiated virtual room. A server can be utilized to join the client devices in the collaborative virtual session and exchange the metadata.
A client device for participating in a collaborative virtual meeting in a locally instantiated virtual room, via a network, with a second client device, said client device associable with a first coupler agent for interfacing with a first entity associated with said client device and said second client device associable with a second coupler agent for interfacing with a second entity associated with said second client device, said client device comprising:
A method of operating a client device for participating in a collaborative virtual meeting in a locally instantiated virtual room, via a network, with a second client device, said client device associable with a first coupler agent for interfacing with a first entity associated with said client device and said second client device associable with a second coupler agent for interfacing with a second entity associated with said second client device, said method comprising:
