Method and system for enabling enhanced user-to-user communication in digital realities

A system for enabling communication in a virtual world system, the system comprising:

• a server comprising memory and at least one processor, the memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, trigger the at least one processor to:
• generate a marker of a target user that is associated with the target user and presented in the virtual world system;
• detect presence in the virtual world system of a target user device and counterpart user device connected to the server via a wireless network;
• send a notification to the counterpart user device informing about the presence of the target user device in the virtual world system based on a set of rules;
• receive one or more forms of interaction from the counterpart user device on the marker of the target user in the virtual world system;
• open up a communication channel between the counterpart user device and the target user device responsive to the one or more received forms of interaction;
• and
• receive and direct communication between the counterpart user device and the target user device via the communication channel.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having stored thereon instructions configured to cause a server computer system comprising memory and at least one processor to perform a method for enabling communication in a virtual world system, comprising the steps of:

• generating a marker of respective users from a plurality of positional and orientational data points obtained from a first user device and a target user device;
• detecting presence in the virtual world system of the first user device and the target user device connected to the server via a wireless network;
• sending a notification to the first user device informing about the presence of the target user device in the virtual world system based on a set of rules;
• receiving a form of interaction from the first user device on the marker of the target user in the virtual world system;
• opening up a communication channel between the first user device and the target user device in response to the received form of interaction;
• and
• receiving and directing communication between the first user device and the target user device via the communication channel.
