## Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a system and method enhanced collaboration through teleportation. In one or more embodiments, there is provided a system for moderating an enhanced collaboration environment for at least a set of participants, comprising a server for facilitating a 2-D federated collaboration environment for the at least one set of participants; a server for facilitating a 3-D virtual collaboration environment for the at least one set of participants; and a gateway server for facilitating teleportation of at least two participants of the at least one set of participants from the 2-D federated collaboration environment to form a teleported collaboration group in the 3-D virtual collaboration environment.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method to conduct a 3-D virtual collaboration session by use of a 3-D server, comprising:
selecting, by use of a processor, participants and meeting location for the 3-D virtual collaboration session;
receiving confirmation that a gateway instance has been established by one or more of the selected participants;
notifying the 3-D server of the selection of participants and a meeting location;
scanning one or more of the participants for characteristic information;
instructing the 3-D server to start and to load the characteristic information;
instructing the 3-D server to take participants to the meeting location and begin the 3-D virtual collaboration session in a 3-D virtual collaboration environment.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the characteristic information comprises participant information.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising scanning the 3-D server for collaboration content.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein the collaborative content comprises textual document files.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein the collaborative content comprises audio data files.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising, when the collaboration session terminates, teleporting documents and things from the 3-D server to the 2-D server for use by the participants in the federated collaboration environment.
